The temple of the body beautiful, with a strain and tremble

Music pumping, yet not really noticed

As bodies are pumping, to be noticed

Machines activated by human power

Working up a sweat “just another hour”

Seeking to become just a little more physically decked

Body mass index and calorie counting minutely checked

Gaining bulging muscles or loosing bulges they want to shed

Weighing scales their best friend or looked at with utter dread

I too used to worship at the temple a long time ago

I’ve looked at life from both sides now and for me I know

Thank, but looking at these guys I don’t see any smiles

Exercise is wonderful, viewing beautiful scenery, I walk for miles
