In my world
I order those soldiers
Who come after him
To go away

And it happens
I command the priests
Through Judas
To think it possible
They may be wrong

And I tell him
I don’t care what
He thinks his father
Said or wanted
This night is beautiful
The moon is round
And silver
Among so many
Brilliant stars

There is more to life
Than pain and suffering

Now let that
Pretty Mary Magdalene
Bring us wine

After watching an episode of "The Bible" on television, your poem reminds me of my son asking, "I didn't know there was a girl disciple." Enjoyed!
