Strip The Frip


Some people say that the clothes make the man.
Put on a suit and voila! Dapper Dan.

Doff civvies, don uniform, and one becomes
A serious soldier. Cue brass band and drums!

Oh, doctor, lawyer, firefighter, priest;
Shed those costumes, has your status decreased?

Try being naked, apparent and true.
Be what is happening. That's what defines "you."

Clothes can make visual comments on wealth;
Be the ascetic for spiritual health.

Come right out of nature and lay bare your souls.
Don't be fooled by facades. Don’t get trapped in your roles.

Free the body of the frippery it loathes. 
Strip the frip. Live now. Don’t be “made” by your clothes.
