Tattoo

Some people might say that I am a prude Because of my body, and it is not tattooed, But I am no animal, and no ones property or slave So having myself marked, that I do not crave, My body indeed is a piece of art Not a road sign to stop, or go, or where to park, My body is the way that it was when I was born And if I want decorations, colorful clothes will be worn, I look in a mirror and I see myself With the cuts and burns and blisters and all else, There is no markings on my body that I will be ashamed And all that I have, pridefully it will be claimed, I do not need a tattoo to express who I am And if you don't accept my views, I don't give a damn, I will not allow any person to place any inking upon my skin As I know for myself and soul that is just a sin, I am proud of my body with no shame or any guilt With no tattoos or markings I am the temple that GOD built, I am not a showoff or braggart or a follower which is true That is why this man, will never have a tattoo.
