Lamentations of the Abused Body
#MyBody
#PurchasedbytheBloodoftheLamb
#Nottobedefiled!
#1 Corinthians 3:16-17, 6;19-20

Created to be a beautiful edifice
Molded and structured by the Potter Himself
Sacred and precious is my glory
I'm tender, soft and surprisingly strong
My within bubbles with life and potentials.

Alas, I have been shamed!
I've been touched indecently, harassed and molested.
I've been fed with harmful tablets, deadly powder and smokes.
I've been exposed to all arts of evils
My configurations have been altered - shunning my natural use.

Men and women no longer care
I'm no longer valued,
I've been turned to men pleaser
All sort of experiments are carried out on me
My purpose of creation has been defeated! - changing my glory.

I'm already weak, losing my powers and failing
Diseases and Sicknesses already invading me
Curses are upon me - invoked by vain imaginations of men
Who will deliver me from the dark heart of men!?
I cried out to my Maker - deliver the works of Your hands

Tell them...I am to be valued and honored!
I'm not to be treated cheaply!
A price has been paid for me already!
I am not for sale!
No one buys God's products
I'm the temple of God - not to be defiled!
