+------Baptize Me, The World; Jesus' Words To John  After Requesting Baptism In The Jordan 

When I was younger
I remember the grousing
of my Mother – that the occupation
of Caesar made the Hebrew soul
ritually unclean, ashamed: The Trojans
musing, years later, on hearing the
crescendos of Odysseus’ tumult
within the wooden horse; The wheels
splintering. And now I stand
at the world’s edge, toes on the Bank
of the Jordan. Seeking, first to
cleanse my mind of all the doubt,
inferiority I have known, seen. To wash
away, in my flesh, the ageless indignity
of the human. To clean my people
of their sin, to clean the world of the
old order. To make all things new. Pure.     

------Matthew 3:13-17
Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented. As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased
