Our Father Chapter One

"Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. The two sisters Mary and Elisabeth said the Lord's prayer every night. On their knees, in unison, in the room of their father and pastor Zechariah Love Israel as he watched. "Very good Mary and Elisabeth. Now get the Bible and read a verse". The oldest sister Mary got the Bible off the nightstand and turned to Genesis chapter six. "And it came to pass when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose". Raising his hand for Mary to stop reading. Zechariah walked over and took the Bible out of her hand. He then had the two sisters turn towards each other and undress each other. "Daddy please not tonight. Elisabeth and I don't feel well". "Now Mary you both know the Lord God will heal you through me". The crimes and acts that Zechariah commited that night was unspeakable. Ever morning Mary and Elisabeth would try to scrub the betrayal of their father off their flesh. "Our dead mother must be crying her eyes out in heaven" Elisabeth said to Mary as they got ready for church. Written by Keith Edward Baucum aka The Brown Philosopher aka The Green Poet aka Red Seven
