Endless Rosary


Penance for the Lord
of my father.
The mark
on my forehead
bears the shape of
a cross on a circle.

Flood the earth!
Let the water
wash away the sins
of my gender.

How many more
Our Fathers?

Amen.

      Laugh if you want. ^__^

      It wasn't intentional, but I am well aware that my bitterness can be amusing. Exodus is a thumping good read though.
