belies

what the world wants
from all knights of Light—
            helmets shimmering like the sun
            armour glittering golden
            shields deflecting all sin—
belies
the true renown of the Crown.

what the world does not want
to see of the King’s anointed—
             eyes still lusting under the sun
             tongues still waxing all but golden
             skin still struggling with sin—
belies
the truth we are only holy because of Him.
