Monica

Monica

By Maurie Nord

Where have you been?

Hiding in shame?

I do not condemn you

Mary Magdalene

Throw the first stone at her

Sinless ones

I have sorrow to know

There would be women

Among those so

Crudely and cruelly armed

It was not so back then

Women had little power

But it is so now

When women have risen

And can seize the hour

To be seated amongst the men

To shame you along with the worst of them
