MAGDALENE

Do not shame the girl,
who is thrown in the mud.
The foul ones point
and mock and scorn.
Her dress has been torn.
They heap shame upon her,
and call her a blasphemous name.
They cast stones
from their mouths,
they cat call and abase,
they cause tears
to water her face.
Her brother is among them,
the most zealous.

She would not fear her sexuality,
She would not accept the law,
She would not lay upon her back,
(she liked to be on top)
and for this she was called a whore,
seductress, succubus, sinner.

She stood in the mud,
raised her voice and cried,
FUCK YOU ALL!!!
