A Cut Above
Upon the morn, so soft and bright,
A ritual done in ancient rite.
A snip, a slice, a fleeting pain,
A mark that time will not regain.
A whispered prayer, a knowing nod,
A hand that moves as if by God.
Tradition’s blade, so sharp, so keen,
A tale retold, yet rarely seen.
Some call it faith, some call it fate,
A custom old, a choice innate.
A moment brief, a cry, a tear,
A symbol borne from yesteryear.
Yet whether praised or questioned deep,
It carves a path that some will keep.
For in the end, what shapes the man,
Is not just flesh, but where he stands.
"Guess what's the poem about?"
