Dry Wash Poem by Kumarmani Mahakul

Dry Wash

Rating: 5.0


In God's creation human beings are active,
They are cute, they don dress adaptive.
Different types of clothes they do put on,
These are polyester, voile, nylon and cotton.

Clothes save our bodies from dust and sun,
In winter we use warm clothes fancy in fun.
All these dresses get dirty and need washing,
Some are cleaned in soap or surf no fixing.

Furry dress and blankets need dry wash,
Our bodies are clothes like, souls do quash.
It is defiled with vices, anxieties and sin,
We forget very often and do need din.

Knowledge is like surf can wash body mind,
It will be acquired in virtuous deed and kind.
God can purify our souls we will get peace,
It is the dry wash which cleans with nice.

Washing powder of body is grace of God,
Meditation brings peace, let's do and nod.
Let's have dry wash to our mind and body,
Which cleans violence vice grief and shoddy?

Just as clothes need washing when they become dirty with sweat and filth, our minds also need occasional cleansing with the grace of God. Meditation and prayer are like washing detergents. They wash away the dirt of sin and our mind becomes pure! A worthy write!

Our belongings / our clothes are far more than we need. We take so much for granted. We certainly need to be rid of so much violence Thank you
