Inked- Part 2

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. -1 Corinthians 6:19–20

To mark flesh,

To mark beauty

Of forever scars,

Of tales of trials.

 

We pain for stains,

We surrender splendor

For distinctive attributes,

For therapeutic means.

 

We disobey laws,

We defy commandments

By destroying our temples

To further our desires.

 

To be marked of sin,

To be marked of offense

Done by His children

To free them from evil doing.
