G – Now let’s see if I got this right…
\nYou had to sign a legal document where you swear
\nto ‘love for better or worse till death do you part’
\nand no matter how vile mean ugly or destructive
\neither party is you are legally bound to ‘love’,
\nand the only release from this torture is death,
\nor a living death where wife\/or sometimes husband
\nsurrenders their will to the other?<\/p>\n
M – But I was only following and teaching
\nyour holy book the Bible. I was able to subjugate Mary
\nfor the public but my subjugation of her in our home
\ndestroyed those loving feelings that brought us together
\nand neither got no satisfaction. Oh, Sundays were grand
\nbut the thanks and praises walked out the door
\nwhen my sermon was over and hand shakes ended.<\/p>\n
G – Come on in Matthew you were also a victim,
\nas was Mary, of all the false prophets for profit,
\nwho took unto themselves All Mighty Powers.
\nCome sit down beside me, let us now observe
\nwhat they will do to Mary – how can they not know
\nwhen all hope is gone there are two options
\nsuicide and\/or murder – neither of which rises
\nour of jealousy, but desperation.<\/p>\n
M – And who in the world is not feeling despair now?<\/p>\n
G – I’ll tell you who – those who sacrifice their mind and will
\nand psyche themselves into raptures on earth – that only
\nmasters of Satan can give. I’ve told them, between
\nGod and Devil, it is only the devil that can lie.<\/p>\n
But there is hope Matthew. When at first one lies,
\nthe need arises to cover one lie with another lie,
\nit becomes a way of life like cheating does once
\none crosses that line with trumped-up rationality;
\ncheating and lying, of necessity, becomes a duet,
\na double bind so to say – a house of cards where out
\ncomes only with collapse.<\/p>\n
But you are here and they are there and you
\nare now in the company of all the victims
\nof liars and cheaters of all denominations,
\nall of whom are in another place…
\nback in school so to say with no cheat sheets.<\/p>\n
Here, Matthew, as a victim you’ve earned your wings,
\nthe halo comes later if you wish to try next time to
\nnourish instead of surrender those gifts each and every
\nchild is born with: a curious mind and free will.<\/p>\n
Good night, and good luck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
