okay,
so Mary Magdalene was a whore
but if it’s true that God made everything,
then He made our bodies:
He opened lust’s door
apostle to the apostles
defamed as a lowlife cur
she was a tower an’ a fortress
an’ I know
my Lord loved her
yep,
Jezebel an’ Delilah
messed up royal
but my Lord overlooked this
to forgiveness He was loyal
both women were strong
yet by love they were brought low
one can discover
for oneself
what historians have failed to show
each sunrise we awake
in awe an’ fear of the living God
only to accept
by sunset
our return to worm-filled sod
‘s true: nobody’s perfect
we’ve all fallen short of God
we all of us
are sinners
exiles in the land of Nod
