Unfilled to over-flowing,
as was her bottle of tears,
with weeping for the fallen woman,
while from her lips to God's ears...
said the Mother Superior,
“I have completely lost track
of how often the Archbishop and I,
wearing ashes and cloth sacks,
crept into the crypt
and made the beast with two backs.
Altho' no one can hold a candle,
to his Grace, yes,
not even the Venerable Abbess,
flagellation notwithstanding,
as a nun married to You,
who committed sacrilege,
I'm ashamed to confess,
I broke your Lord's Commandment
as an unrepentant adulteress.”
The grace of God permeates the genealogy of Jesus.
The first woman to appear in Jesus' genealogy was
a woman who refused to be denied by pretending to be
a prostitute. In so during, having a child by Judah, TAMAR
became an ancestorial grandmother of Jesus Christ
The Son of God.
The second woman to appear in his genealogy was a
harlot named RAHAB, also an ancestorial grandmother.
The third woman appeared from Moab, a country
forbidden to worship in God's Temple. Her name was
RUTH, King David's great-grandmother.
The fourth woman to appear was BATHSHEBA, an adulteress
linked to a murder. These all demonstrate to what extent
the God who is Holy will descend to bring us into his
loving arms of care and forgiveness.
The last woman to appear in the genealogy of Jesus
is a virgin named MARY, chosen to be his mother.
GOD'S Grace permeates the universe
EVERY generation matters to God
NEVER ignore nor minimize God's grace
EVIL and dark acts are brought to the light
ADAM lost Cain and Abel, but God gave him Seth
LOSSES plus God's grace yield great gains
OPENED hearts make redemption possible
GOD highlights his forgiveness and love
'YES!' to Rahab the harlot and to Bathsheba the adulteress
A husband continues to fumble
And his far upset wife grumble,
For his easy requests mere mumble:
She’ll shed no tear, if their lives tumble:
The once straight walker now does amble
“Are these ‘Evil’ or its preamble?”
But she shan’t go for it: a divorce.
That should be living marriage by force:
If she remarries ‘Adulteress’.
Husband Nick claims he’s an example.
“Yes, in folly you’ve got an ample.”
The adulterer and adulteress rode
In a gilded carriage, while horses strode
Many looked on with pride
Others hated the ride
Most of the world yawned in blasé mode
I had some thoughts when they said he was the leader of the Church Of England.
Mount the dead animal head
above your mantle stone fireplace
Lay your nude body upon
the grizzly rug of this death skin
Likewise, with safari determination,
you hunt the wooly souls that walk upright —
Talking mammals who don’t bend
Feeling angry bloodlust ... your coffin trophy case
must be carcass filled
Ivory tusks of scarlet trust
is lunar vision, high-caliber revealed
Sons of Nimrod, the mighty hunter
Possessing genetic cunning, you hunt with deadly feline skill
Children of the bow and blade,
your thirst to shed blood can only be sated on a full moon kill
A beastly heart which loves to shoot the arrow,
bulls-eye is the grim, grave marker
Reapers of the predator prize —
eagle claws death clutching the caught sparrow
Sons of Nimrod ...
your mother, the daughter of Belial,
has taught you well:
How to adulteress hunt the precious life
Put the severed heads on sale,
but reserve the best for your crypt cave abode
Looking at the glassy, dead eyes
warms your empty, rapacious soul,
in the tomb winter years of a blood moon night
We cannot separate Mother Mary and Saint Joseph
They’re having so much connection
With the mystery of Incarnation of Eternal God
St. Joseph, being guardian of the Virgin’s spotless honor
Foster-father of the Divine Babe
Mother Mary’s family thought be made known
She might not be stoned by the Jews as an adulteress
Thirdly, that in her flight; have the comfort of a husband
St. Ignatius add yet a fourth reason namely that is birth might hid from the devil
Looking for Him to be born of a wife and not of a Virgin
Gracious God, I pray for my parents
For all family members who have positively influenced my life
For the happiness of good memories
For the forgiveness of those who have wronged me
And for peace of heart with those to whom I did not or could not say “I’m sorry”
For all the deceased members of my family
Your great mercy Lord
You may forgive their sins
And welcome them into eternal life

Like questioning the existence of a presence
Ancient and authoritative manuscripts
Choose a blank in word usage and omit this
As some Bibles forget and use words
Written how an adulteress is forgiven
While scribes question her living
The son of the Ancient of Days
Uses the ground to omit their presence
Ending in judgement of those on themselves
And self proclaimed hypocrisy relegates them from existing
The question still persists
Can you forgive...
Something that may or may not have happened
Or
Should this scripture
Like those scribes
Choose not to exist.
"The truth stood downcast in the lie"
Naked, afraid of such a deed
The tongue had wagged so much 'twas sore
How should his adulteress proceed?
As she viewed particles of truth
"The truth stood downcast in the lie"
For truth was ashamed to accept
The fault bestowed upon itself
His wife tossed carelessly aside
Her feelings rubbish in his eyes
"The truth stood downcast in the lie"
Truth could not look straight in her eyes
Eyes the window of her deep soul
Would decree betrayal untold
As the adulteress truly knows
"The truth stood downcast in the lie"
A mother with a baby boy
Another child now on its way
A husband who pledged love~a ploy
Slips with the adulteress away
Adulteress' husband comes home; their dismay
Caught, well, almost; that playboy
Slithered out the window unclothed
No way to escape; life will destroy
Trapped naked outside unabashed
Lied, lied his friend's reputation trashed

Right!! Who believes that one???
Abel, the armored lancer, was a shameless adulterer not able
to give up for an hour the company of beautiful Anabel;
" I'm allowed to court anyone! " he squeaked out aloud,
" Why must an adulteress be cursed, to me it's superstitious!
I prefer sensual Anabel! She never denies my desires!
I won't bow and crawl! No angry Pope can make me cow!"
" I am joining the Crusaders and take Anabel with me,
in Jerusalem I will announce my bethrothal to her;
ah, my gracious wife Mary, you won't be so merry!
If they arrest me, a bale of jewel will guarantee my bail!"
And if the infidels kill me, " Anabel, send a message to my beloved Mary:
" I ask to be forgiven, not forgotten...I was very unfaithful to you;
in every battle I saw your devoted face so tearful, it was terrible...
I am too troubled and traumatized by this guilt which will bring me death."
Her essence manifests on abysmal nights.
Aimlessly roaming in endless twilights.
Ceaselessly craving the warmth of sunlight.
Trapped in a shadow realm.
Forsaken passage to heaven.
An abomination so evil she's banished from hell.
A professed Christian woman, such a brutal disgrace.
Extraordinarily wicked.
A false mask of godliness concealed her true face.
An edacious hypocrite to her very core.
Treacherous, unscrupulous.
Constantly taking more.
Sacrificed her soul for adulteress lust.
While preaching of forgiveness and unconditional love.
Judge not she had said as she fantisized that you where dead.
To her husband she swore a biblical oath.
Falsifying the truth to those she did host.
Accused of betrayal for not bowing down.
Broken and tarnished her, self righteous crown.
A scapegrace of shame.
She aches all alone.
No mercy, no peace, no place to call home.
From time to time, you'll catch sight of her sillohette
on a moonlit night.
A glimpse of what she became.
A longing to end her relentless pain.
What I ask, did she gain?
born as a fighter,
he is Atan,
but he have those beautiful sparkling eyes,
he is a boy,
born as someone that his parents wish to be strong,
but he is petite and small,
not even tough and manly,
his name is Atan,
,
Dear Atan,
He is the heroic Atan,
but he is the pretty boy,
and at the age he cross the adulteress,
he woke his own eyes,
and put both of his feet on the ground,
to become the new Atan,
because he knew he is the pretty boy.
but Atan,
this world are not as lovingly as you,
for people too selfish,
they kill you silently,
Oh Atan,
only you can save yourself,
pull all your strong together,
and stand firm,
until the day you know who you are,
changed can be your number one enemy,
for to live in happiness,
please forget that once,
you are the pretty boy.
