Creative Writing : Ode to Mahoney
Vi fick i läxa att skriva en "Terza Rima" (14 rader, 10 stavelser i varje, med följande rimmönster: a+b+a, b+c+b, c+d+c, d+a+d, a+a). Min blev en argsint uppgörelse med katolska kyrkan. =) Vi ska läsa upp våra alster på lektionen imorgon. Hoppas ingen i klassen blir alltför kränkt! Angående titeln; Mahoney heter en av de anklagade kardinalerna som kände till sexuella övergrepp på barn inom kyrkan, men som höll tyst för att skydda kyrkans rykte.
Ode to Mahoney
There is this biblical quote that I like
That a "tree is recognized by its fruit"
It speaks true but not by wonder or might
How can it bloom if it's dead by the root?
If God is love, but what you speak is hate
it means you're full of it, and that's the truth
And while you hate and judge and say "God's great!",
another victim wipes her tears away
Her cardinal once said "Just keep your faith"
It all seems wrong, but who am I to say?
I'm another sinner that God might smite
But for those suffering church crimes I pray
For the victims unheard I will take fight
And now I call on thee, Heaven on high
