Prestige you feel to have your possession in our keeping. Pious you feel to carry it to church each day. Tomorrow you will come burn the books and drown the wicked. The next day you will say 'they've taken it away'

Verse 1 needs a look at the wording, "possession"

The rest is pretty good.

I carry my possession that you possess to church every day? I think this is supposed to be a semi-riddle on knowledge, but I do not see how to put all the pieces together.
