Bar of soap

Like a bar of soap
You can't grasp me
You can't clasp me
Your hands are covered
In the foam that I left 

You think I'm essential 
But I can be replaced
My alternatives are many 
And better than me
Better for you 
Easier to grasp

â—„ Where are the wise ones?

You're too complacent â–º
