A Paradox For The Virgin

hail mary
holy mary
she doth be
quite contrary

losing her faith
vacant from grace
holy mary
tears stain your sweet face


forget about chastity
sullied with sin
holy mary
blessed art thou among women


no more forgiveness
incredulous of heaven
holy mary
poor little virgin


absence of abstinence
dissolution within her
holy mary
pray for us sinners


now and at the hour
of our death
holy mary
grant us one last breath

    good write

    I think that if I had been the Virgin Mary, I would have said "No".
    I wrote something like this a while ago, so I can see where
    you are coming from. Not wanting to be disrespectful, but
    wanting to get a little dig in anyway.
    I like the simplicity here, and the lack of emotion. Just
    telling it the way you feel it.

    losing her faith
    vacant from grace
    holy mary
    tears stain your sweet face

    Lovely writing.
    Best wishes ~ crisstiena

    well, you see.. i would really like to comment on this, but i just woke up so i'm a little braindead.. i'll try my best lol
    i'm not even christian, but i've always been fascinated by the figure of the virgin mary.. she gets so much less attention than say, her son.. yeah, that'd be christianity, to put the mother figure in the background and the males in the forefront.
    i like the way this was simple.. but deep.. and was very well written. i think the first 3 stanzas would have to be my favorite.
    okay hope this made sense lol great write
