A Holy Person

One moment after
you get,
that your self-image of yourself,
is just a concept of a concept -
that you are in reality,
a scripture yet to be written -

only then
do you become a holy person.

Beware,
let no one eat your promises
as truth,
for they only want their beliefs
to stay pure,
and if you humor them
with other well-meaning myths,

you may well have to take holy orders,
and hide behind a whole lot more
damming words.
