Fishing For Answers

Another Friday has arrived 
No meat I do sigh 
I eat the fishes from Saint Peter’s wishes 
Fried or grill 
The sea food fits the sacrificial concept bill 
Bring the tarter 
For a starter 
While other condiments enhance
This feeding chance 
But all one is doing is not eating meat 
Isn’t the fish just as sweet?
As that piece of meat? 
Purpose is not to give up 
Instead raise a cup 
In remembrance of Saint Peter and the stand he took 
Referenced in the holiest book
The letters and readings published in the text 
Have for centuries earned one’s respect 
We believe these are nonfiction accounts 
Explaining human civilization and what it is all about
Yes, these stories are supposedly are true 
Written by those who saw biblical power plays through 
Today’s 2020 Lenten year 
We state without a tear 
Enormous things have been taken away 
Before the 2020 resurrection day 
I can say stand by one’s belief 
By showing in 24 hours going without eating any beef 
This challenge will make one strong 
While waiting for those to confess on what they did in 2020 was wrong
