Mrs. Modern Mother Mary

We’ll cut you down to size

there is a woman burning at the center square

raven black eyes and long let out hair

screaming

while cloaked vultures holier-than-thou circle and glare

at sweat drops on pale skin like satin

and as the raging flames work her into cinder

said in their defence:

stupidity and ignorance

prejudice and intolerance

all sound so much wiser when dressed up

in Latin

life will never be the same

I have a bigger world since I found God

truth will never be the same

I’m in a righter mind since I found God

I found...

Mrs Modern Mother Mary

all pale and weary

from raising her overweight kids in the outskirts of Suburbia

on a nice christian gender based salary

and a church she can merely attend

and there on the flip-side of Caucasia we see

Miss Modern Mary Magdalene

gone Deep Throat

on international cabel TV

so you keep talking about progress and equality

but to me

the crusade is still on my friend

silly me who always thought

life was for the living

and giving in to lust

was all to give and to be given

life will never be the same

I have a better view since I found God

guilt will never be the same

I’m on a higher ground since I found God

I found God...

life will never be the same

I have a better view now

there’s always someone else to blame

I’m on the winning team now

death will never be the same

I’m in the faster lane now

no more am I the one to blame

I have a juster cause now

love will never be the same

lust will never be the same

shame will never be the same

I will never be the same

and

you will never be the same
