Is there an explanation wherefore it is venerable
That a woman, indeed a young maid, be placed on a platform
Caressing her prized possession as the world beholds her with disgust
O wise magistrates! Ye righteous clergyman! Hear my remorseful plea

Forgive and Forget-- hast this ever crossed thy mind
Did not the harlot make amends with Christ Himself
Tis so and the heart of the remorseful Prynne knoweth it
Thus and the latter's worry is diminished some
After all her penance could be deemed martyr like

A vile adulteress; ignominy's representative is she
And the righteous congregation casteth it's verbal stones
All except one whose guilt floods his weakened heart
In time he too will represent shame within his soul
Reddened accomplices are the two branded with
The Scarlet Letter attached with lack of reconciliation

Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
The Son Of Man came not to save
the righteous, but the unrighteous!
When Jesus spelled their names in
the sand of the men who had been
with the harlot, and asked, Now who
condemns her, they all left! Forgiveness
has to work both ways for justice to be
blessed by our Creator! Great Work here!
Blessings,
Robert Edgar Burns (Rob)

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
