Inked

What be these things on body laid
and marked upon thy skin
the coloration vast designs
to show what thou be in

Thy simple ink began thy trek
and caused thy great desire
for just another one will do
for others to admire

Till fill thy sleeve doth now thou make
complete thy empty space
lest teardrops, aces, skeletons
be placed upon thy face

And should thy lips be much too thin
thy collegian to fill
and liposuction thin thy legs
that giggle at thy will

Thy implants too must be in place
to make thy ink not sag
and botox wrinkles in thy head
lest thou be deemed a bag

A lifting here, a tucking there
is all that satisfies
while filling this and cutting that
makes empty void inside

Insatiable be thy desire
for thou canst barely quit
for mirror image tells thee all
thy defects to admit

The disappointed picture there
doth tell what thou need
the flaws that be thus magnified
thy carcass up to speed

Forsaken be the spiritual
true nourishment of will
the penmanship within thy soul
with God's law thus fulfilled


The body look and constant gaze
will never more be quenched
the fleshly scene that needs reproof
persistent change from stench

Forbidden path and fearful lust
shall pacify no more
unbridled passion set at will
of stinking carnal core

Oh Holy One please ink within
that which satisfies
relation with thine only Son
defeating fleshly lies
