The Human Body

A human body is a sheathly
suit of armour. 
Whereupon it shields 
its soul and other 
luminous, feathery bodies
of inhumane and devilsh works. 
To only leave
its inner forms 
glistening a brightly new.

This is no secret, I say.
As this very message
is hidden in 
sacred books that are
written for worshiping
our Glorious Father. 
Whose Righteous and 
Mighty Head 
remains unmatched 
by every kind
of creature in
life and for the new
life to come.
