Life Is Precious

A person's mind, Life, body, is intended/ For the person it was given to/ Not to be messed with in any ways/ In sacred gifts, we find our own/ The mind and life, a body's throne/ By God's design, our vessel created for us alone/ To tarnish such, our souls are maimed/ Life is too precious to seize and bind/ Sadistic ploys, deceit so bare/ To harvest trust, a hollow snare/ Unmask the face, let truth alight/ Reveal the self in honesty/ Never play with heart's intent/ For actions hold divine lament/ On judgement day, our deeds unfold/ The weight of a black heart, it's story told/ Respect life, the love, the core/ For Paradise awaits/ Beyond the door/
