Poem June 12, 1978 Issue

Extinguish the counterfeit!

Brett L. Stafford

The body (flesh and bones)
dances in the limelight
entertaining
uninspired mortal eyes,
endlessly begging for immediate
acceptance, unquestioned identity.
But the physique-counterfeit—
What a fake!

When fleshly concepts
call vulnerable, bleak forms
man,
shut out the lie
instantly!

then you will break through to
a radiant glimpse
of the true you (invisible to mortal sight)
the spiritual you—untied
to fragile matter forms—
man reflecting
only Spirit's infinity!
