People like plants
Veins like roots
Bespeak purity of mind
Objects like the deer or the ape
To be obtained
Flawed in technological perfection
Directed knowledge, growth patterns
Church of state
Removed from dirt
Entire families of moral simplicity
No upward direction
Fostered by the enforcement of contact
All one flavor
Making their own little messes
And wallowing
For the empathy of their own
