Poem
Chapter I Part II: Power and emptiness Mariah of Magdala! Opulent woman yet juvenile Did your 'hood' bestow upon you such affluence? Look how youthful you are Flawless beauty with an enchanting aroma Like a spring in the wilderness Of apparent mint breadth of solace, Your velvet skin, Maria, of such cottony How do you make your even delicate body soft, Mariah? They make figures stick like Sahara honey on your sheath Your eyes Mariah of Magdala They see through a soul-like infinite They see the pain and confuse them with pleasure A short, well-lived excitement. Where did you get those sharp milky teeth? Well separated neatly arranged ages Like a perfect green cob for export Your Mona Lisa smile Mariah of Magdala They make your face like the goddess Did the same maker who created other women create you? How biased? For the best, you gained Of perfect Eden plump on the season after another They say thy fruits are the sweetest We have the best adage than yours Mariah Yet men threw stones at yours They sneaked with weapons Some dug deep holes ensuring no ending harvest Some made wings with baskets While others became your best of friends yet foes Some were witty and gave you toxic cherry Just for a piece of your pie To have fruitage where they ever so desired Each left with a piece of sweet melody Their half-filled hearts thirsted They longed to come back sooner than they had left They fought among themselves Did they slay for your Eden Mariah of Magdala? Mariah of Magdala! How did it feel to let them in one after another? Did they hurt you? Did they make you happy? Did it convey completeness to thy thirsting soul? To see the sons of women destroying each other for you Was it pleasurable? Oh! Mariah of Magdala Piece by piece they took off your humanity Did they neglect you when you needed them most? Did someone hurt your childhood? Did they trade you for generational wealth, Mariah of Magdala? Or did they curse you for the cleansing ceremony? For that which made you this cardinal Must celebrate in a cheer of win.
