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
