Only When The Flesh Is Peeled Poem by Captain Cur

Only When The Flesh Is Peeled

Rating: 5.0


Who turns inward but he himself whom cried
And opens his heart on these oceans wide,
Exulting in triumph, each dancing wave
Chartering life on life's uncharted way.
Widening sails in glorious morning flight
Exposing the soul through raw unfiltered light;
Beliefs that tear apart built by hate and fear
Blinded to the truth by religious zeal
Truth that keeps rising from the bosom's core
Only when the flesh is peeled can the spirit soar.
