Unwrapping

Raw and gory little being
The cosmos takes its first breath
Debarked from a realm of bliss
The earth steals a petite kiss

You are now wrapped in papers of morality
An additional paper of colorful guilt
Innumerable others of vivid philosophy
And yet another of dire hatred

Food you eat
Or the wrappers around
Elucidate the weight of your body?

Nonetheless, you are primed; you are on
A quest to revivify the dim
A journey to unwrapping a gift
A gift; from another alien realm

Tear apart the papers
To that default ecstasy within;
A souvenir of the higher
Do not resign; Mind you!
There are layers to strip
Before you slumber.
