Mary Walks Amid the Thorn

Counter 
Act

Game 
Over

for woman and child
in the life threatening
game of perverse logic

when it
turns out to be
an illusion

in celibacy
freely willing
for the sake of the kingdom of heaven

obedience for
the following of JESUS
to be treated as
the bride of CHRIST
and loving 
Deus caritas es

Mary walks amid the thorn
Kyrie Eleison

When nuns
in obedience
to the superior
serve
the sexual needs
of a cleric

who does not want to
endanger himself
outside the church
and moreover
pays money
to the superior
who thus becomes a
brothel mother

Mary walks amid the thorn
Kyrie Eleison

If after all
in covering up
the evil deed
often connected
with promoting
a change of location
for the cleric
seems opportune

Mary walks amid the thorn
Kyrie Eleison

Or when sisters of the order
giving preservative care 
to poor women of Africa
as a necessary protection from aids
alleviating oppressive dependency

and then
as a thank you
are ultimately expelled
from the order

Mary walks amid the thorn
Kyrie Eleison

Also by proclaiming 
the Trinity of God
a cleric forces
sexual contact
with two nuns

Mary walks amid the thorn
Kyrie Eleison
Mary walks amid the thorn
Which seven years no leaf has born
Jesus and Maria

What´neath her heart doth Mary bear?
Kyrie Eleison
A little child doth Mary bear
Beneath her heart HE nestles there
Jesus and Maria

And as the two are passing near
Kyrie Eleison
Lo! Roses on the thorns appear
Lo! Roses on the thorns appear
Jesus and Maria
