January 16, 2007 : Mark 3: 19b & ff

Will be a day of sun
Locked out behind iron
Curtain and rain. Rising to ruin
Dream land, though key to pick up
Wonders of new day: there once was a woman
With the phthisical mate
Who used his still body to incubate
Hen eggs before he died…and cooled;
Then: of those who tried to seize Him
And those thinking Him
A money bank try to enshrine Him
For profit, set up shop: they would come
And pay to pray to; one hates to think
Of greed amongst the Holy
Family; Mark did: before there was belief
There was cool detachment, willingness
Toward pragmatic exploitation
Of prayer and magical power. Just lay your hands
On the TV set: feel the healing
Power …. send the check: better the woman
With the phthisical mate
Who used his body to incubate….
