Truth Be Told (Ode To Mary Magdalene)
Your halls glistened in virgin white
Marbled with illusions, chide lies
Feasting fantasies, frosting twilight
Your sharp vigil held in disguise
Marked distain slur bitter tongues
Left the weak sadly convinced.
Stifled the truth from filling the lungs
Sound words left blurry and minced.
If thou encumbered by weighty approach,
Could Almighty not see peril, danger?
Blinded by love while evil encroached
Ah! Allied beginnings in manger!
Shall these obscure impulses deem fair
Whilst teachings of your past deed
Seek immoral, unethical, answers to prayer,
In the name of prosperous greed?
