Audrey Haick Poet Dodoitsu

Go In Peace and Sin No More

Called, 'Woman of Shame'
Living life as she knew how
Men secretly desired her,
Women - gossiped; jeered
No one offered true friendship
Not one cared to ask her why.

Stones gathered in hands
The good 'Rabbi' intervened...
He who has no sin, he said,
Please, cast the first stone.
As each one stole away, he turned,
"Go in peace and sin no more".
