The hands were made to clasp
the knees designed to bend
the body created to pray.
My hands do much more than clasp, my knees do a lot more than bend, and my body doesn't pray, my mind and heart does.
So for me, your summary is simplistic.
what a gracious response to one reader's literal reaction to a poem - you go, Yahia! Love the Nietzche quote too. And the poem! Congratulations on your Curie. And sorry I've fallen so far behind with so many creators at Steemit!!
Simple, not simplistic, Jerry ✌🏼

I meant no offense my friend @yahialababidi Only love
Poetry is never the whole truth;
it is a truth, fully, inhabited.
Simplistic is a derogatory word.
Words matter; doubly so for writers...
I suppose, in the end, as Nietzsche says:
All of life is a dispute of taste and tasting.
Have a good weekend ✌🏼

Thank you, for saying so (I was afraid I was unkind). And Happy Holidays, round the bend, my friend 🎄✨
You, unkind? Is that even possible? :)
Happy Holidays to you too, dear Yahia!
I'm human-all-too-human <3
Stay blessed, sweet Carol
