Foretold, Angels

Foretold? Angels?

When you have sex, and you really love the other,
You know sometimes if you’ve fertilised and conceived, 
And Mary and Joseph’s love must’ve been strong, 
As marriage was the portal demanded and perceived. 

So Mary hallucinated after some months and knew, 
She was pregnant as an angel to her appeared, 
When fear overtook her because of the derision, 
That would occur from the social scene feared. 

So she decided to turn to god, to the Jewish temple, 
And be inhabited by the holy spirit admired divine, 
And she coined the term Son of God most high, 
For her bastard boy who otherwise wouldn’t be fine. 

John the Baptist was simply the boy’s friend, same age, 
Knew him inside, loved him and understood his heart, 
Comprehended his capacity to attend to the poor, 
For their health and longevity so ignored and tart. 

So John, as Jesus’s best friend, prepared the way for him, 
Set him up with his career, said his work should be accepted, 
By just equating Jesus with god, love, justice and liberation, 
For the poor and downtrodden who were very much rejected.


Luke 1
