"Peace Be With Who?"
"May the Peace of the Lord Be with you Always…"
And the sun shone through the stained glass windows, embracing statues,
robes
and people. It was as if, while they knelt worshipping, praising and
listening
to "His" word, they were wrapped in a ray of holiness…
And that evening, as the sun began to set, she slowly crawled into
his bed, for
the "word" had said that God is Father and Father is God…
And that to be in "His" grace you must
"Honor Thy Father and Mother"
"The Mass Has Ended…Go In Peace"
And the penis became the exploding bomb,
And the semen the fall-out that could not be cleansed;
But the Red Cross did not come…
For there was no war…
There was no death…
There was no destruction
Just
"Our Father, who ar't in Heaven…"
"Remember O'Lord, Those who have Died…
May these…Find…Peace…"
And she still doesn't understand why death seems a viable alternative
to life.
She has grown now…
Many things are good.
She knows that the scriptures and attitudes that say women must serve
men…
That women are evil…
That women are responsible for everything, even death itself
Are not true…
Or, does she?
"May the Souls of the Faithfully Departed Rest in Peace"
Amen!
