I am not animal man,
created to lack and lust,
subject to longing and loss,
ever unsatisfied.
I am not chemical man,
assembled of dissolving elements,
assaulted by
contending temperaments,
ever of mindless sod.
I am spiritual man—the only true man,
compounded of His
enduring energies, enhanced
by Her endearing qualities,
ever of my Father-Mother God.
