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
