There once was a woman
With a physical handicap
She was still the same now
As she was 12 years ago
What about are sins
Are our sins
The same today
As they were 12 years ago
No one
Stays the same
Are we improving
Are we regressing
Once
There was a woman
Who gossiped
When she went to confession
The Catholic priest
Told her to go to the market place
And buy a chicken
What an easy penance
She thought
Then the Catholic priest
Told her
To pluck the chicken
An spread the feathers every where
Strange she thought
But she did this too
Then the priest told her
To go and gather the feathers
And put them
Back on the chicken
I can’t do that Father
She said
The feathers are every where
Exactly the priest said
This is what happens
When you talk about someone
What about my lingering sins
What about
Your lingering sins
Where are we
In relationship
To where we were
12 years ago
ARE WE IMPROVING
