[VERSE]

Dust wore the breath of God / clay woke beneath His gaze [6/6]
Hands rose from common earth / yet bore the royal mark [6/6]
Man did not name himself / God spoke his worth at first [6/6]
Life came as holy gift / not as a product line [6/6]

Male and female bore light / both shaped to mirror God [6/6]
Neither was made as stock / none came with price or code [6/6]
Bodies were called as good / shame had not touched the skin [6/6]
Work served the garden well / rest kept the heart from greed [6/6]

Eyes met the face of God / speech joined the heart to truth [6/6]
Hands learned the weight of care / feet walked the world in peace [6/6]
Rule meant to guard and serve / not strip the earth for gain [6/6]
Power was held as trust / not worn as godlike right [6/6]

Now flesh gets priced and sold / screens crop the soul to skin [6/6]
Brands teach the face to beg / likes grade the worth within [6/6]
Bodies become shop fronts / desire becomes judge [6/6]
Dust wears a market tag / while grief stays off the page [6/6]

Labs read the book of cells / scans map the wounded frame [6/6]
Science can serve the weak / care can reflect God's heart [6/6]
Yet maps are not the soul / tests cannot weigh true worth [6/6]
Charts name the body's state / none names the whole of man [6/6]

Code mirrors human speech / models can learn each style [6/6]
AI can mimic thought / none bears the breath of God [6/6]
Copies can sound like us / data can stage the face [6/6]
Pattern is not a soul / echo is not a life [6/6]

Some sell the mind as code / some call the flesh old gear [6/6]
Upload the self, they claim / leave frail biology [6/6]
But self is not a file / nor flesh a shell to shed [6/6]
God formed the whole of man / hope means the body raised [6/6]

Race made a lie from skin / power then priced each shade [6/6]
Crowns ranked God's image low / chains mocked the Maker's mark [6/6]
Christ broke the wall of pride / one blood now joins the church [6/6]
No tribe can own the throne / all nations face the Lamb [6/6]

Porn turns the flesh to trade / lust strips the name from skin [6/6]
War counts the dead as sums / markets call workers cost [6/6]
Christ sees the face in crowds / knows each forgotten name [6/6]
God's image still remains / though kings may bruise the frame [6/6]

Then God took human flesh / Word wore the dust He made [6/6]
Christ is God's true Image / God seen in human form [6/6]
Hands that had shaped the stars / held wood and felt the nails [6/6]
Body bore sin and wrath / blood paid the debt in full [6/6]

Stone closed around His flesh / dawn called the body forth [6/6]
Scars stayed upon His hands / proof that the same One rose [6/6]
Ghost faith could not save us / Christ rose with bone and breath [6/6]
Future is not a cloud / future wears risen flesh [6/6]

Honor the body now / serve those the world discards [6/6]
Feed those whose names get lost / guard each young child from trade [6/6]
Turn from the cult of self / trust in the Son made flesh [6/6]
Dust wearing glory will / rise when Christ calls the dust [6/6]
