Angry Young Woman
You're an angry woman or so the text reads
The statues and paintings don't match the text
I've seen your image in blue and white hues
Very Zen
But you thanked God that he brought down the powerful
lifted up the lowly and sent the rich away empty
You were told not to be afraid, but you don't seem scared
At the wedding in Cana you seem pushy
You sent your other sons to "collect" Jesus" and he said "who is my mother?"
I've known women like you, sort of
Your anger echoes in the anger of women protesting, unsettling feminine rage
Maybe it was your son that cleared the temple
