Judith

Common nature born in we share our teeth become the spear we all put her in that chair He never left, for she was considered like Job All our sins we sing like carnal lies, only sorrow can ignorance bring Inspired by Maynard James Keenan

In Judith, Maynard unleashes his rage against forces beyond anyone's control. His criticism of his mother's unwavering faith is ironically juxtaposed with his unwavering faith in her. This well-crafted little poem captures it all!

I hope he eventually sees the testimony of her faith for the truth that it is. Thank you for reading and commenting.

They that walk in darkness claiming the light is too bright. Are but slaves to their blindness, chained so tight. The key rests in the Son rise, the divine words spoke. They refuse too see, thus remain under yoke. A pity, that so many would rather be slaves. Than accept the Son , the Light-- the Words that save! A fav.. God bless.

I hope one day Maynard is able to see beyond his misdirected anger. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment my friend.
