I Can See My Body Poem by Adedolapo Olisa

My body state is horrible and I know it
I can see it like its physical and literal
Looks similar to a body covered outside with a pox; and insiude with cancer
it truly is filthy, I myself hate a glance at it which I cannot avoid

My body is a temple of God
what a temple mine is!
Unkept, littered with pet urine, grain pods
occupied by the enemy of my soul's saviour
Chaos everywhere, no point of bliss

Truly an untamed dog remembers it is a carnivorous cat family member
Just as an untamed land proves it is cursed to require toiling
So much trash is thrown in, per millisecond
I am worn out trying, yet my effort is gulped
swallowed by the rate of pollution
I am wearied by the genuine view of my within
Not the outward, glossy painted, wowing to behold me
but the core region of the apple, the heart of my body is ugly.

No human discipline can win this
Stay indoors and I battle trash from my thoughts
Going outdoors, I battle mess from my sight
My neighbor is inviting me by her apparel yet indicating loyalty to her man
The visuals are triggering sensuality just when the football game is fun
The world seems so unreal with the shift deep away from reality
Days only come and go, people too

Who can cut the source of my trash short?
and deal with the mess at a faster rate than i can?
Who can shut the door and keep sin out?
Who can tweak my heart and replace my core?
Who can preserve me by His presence?
Who is the difference?
Who made reality and, shifted men closer to truth?
Who is truth, love and the embodiment of faith?
Whose eyes saw my body for the true state i lived in?
Who do I need?

I am filthy no matter what because... ROMANS 3: 23 says so
I am worn out because the price is dear that I dont want to pay... Romans 6: 23
A gift can pay the price and replace my house plus keep it clean eternally... Romans 6: 23
The gift I need... JESUS!
Romans 10: 9... The truth that I must believe and the confession that admits His superiority
Just as He saves my house, my house's my soul.
I am saved... but just like I feel now, I need him more now than when He came in
He is all I need to keep me as he made me.
