BODY OF FLESH
A body of flesh made from DNA,
the vessel of the spirit through which it can play,
it has its own needs which must be met,
but has no conscience and feels no regret.
The physical world serves a dual purpose,
some we can see the rest is under the surface,
the flesh feels pain with hot and cold,
but it's the spirit within that makes it bold.
A body without a spirit has no humaneness,
just a living organism that knows no sacredness,
it tramples over the earth with no care,
serving only itself with no ability to share.
The earth is losing its battle to survive,
mans conscience is dead just the flesh is alive,
our spirits are chained in torment and pain,
while the flesh runs after material gain.
