Skin
Given as a gift
But seen as punishment
He clothed them in skin
Bound with animal
To roam in fear
Manifesting man's sin
Self-preservation
Defensively moving
To find a place of rest
Knowledge for longing
That reached to take
What was NOT given or blessed
Insolence identifying
Pride roaring about
Against authority
Necromancy of old
Connecting the worlds
To gain the final majority
S...K...I...N...
Meant to be shed
For clear, strong connection
Moving in freedom
With FATHER LOVE
Ending possibility of insurrection
Do you still have SKIN...
