( Now I take my story back - as I said I would - to
the time that JESUS walked on the earth - and we
hear about Mary Magdalene as she was - before she
met JESUS )
There she was - pacing the streets -
Loud - defiant - brassy - brash -
Wearing the kind of clothes that demanded attention ..
Which she got - whichever way - either by smirks - or frowns .
But she was colourful - gaudy - enticing .
Intent on attracting the type who would be led astray ...
Or - unknown to her -
By those - who would do their own leading -
Into their webs ..
Each thinking they were in control -
But neither aware - they were both victims of their needs .
One - by the burning desires of lust ..
The other - with the passion to survive .
Hooked ...
Whatever the cost - just bodies passing in the night -
