SW94 Judgement

http://sundaywhirl.wordpress.com/2013/02/03/wordle-94/

miserable, fuss, wish, go, again, interest
bust, figure, prove, straight, enough, sweet

Judgement
Only you can wish to be miserable and fuss
what is your true interest, what do you want to prove?

The lass seems sweet enough, yet again you go
trying to bust her figure and send her straight to hell!

Is it just because you lack your own faith that you
must convict another who you think threatens you?

And yet the argument fell silent upon deaf ears, as
the innocent child was tied to the stake and burned.

The angered Angel took her gentle soul straight through
St. Peter’s Gate - and adorned her with wings and halo.

Thanks Brenda...I really like The Mentalist, and I think it was your
cackling laughter in your Early Words e-mail that led to this ‘redemption’ piece :)

    Ooh... powerful & thought-provoking, Jules... especially:

    Your opening lines grab the attention. Your poem makes me think of Joan of Arc, her story and the song by Leanard Cohen. I believe that most rage and anger find their basis in fear,

    Sadly, we un-angels are only too ready to condemn, to judge.

    The ending is comforting - I also thought of Joan of Arc.

    Oh Jules, this is thought provoking and beautiful. The kind of thing that makes my skin tingle because I know I've just read an undisputed truth... Wow!

    Jules, this is really good. I was also thinking about the Salem witches, but I went to a Candlemas and my mind went else where. No, thanks on the snow, but thanks for thinking of me. :)

    Even faiths based on love are interpreted to justify the opposite. I am not sure whether the ending is comforting as that child had potential which may have been wasted.

    An Inquisition, it seems, with divine absolution in the end!
