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?
