Grief

---

Repay no
evil,
for evil..
Vengeance
is Mine...
says
the Lord.
[Romans 12:17-19]
***********************
"I'm praying for
Your Wrath,
Lord."

[SILENCE.]

"Those BOYS?
That gang-raped
that GIRL?
After that school...
DANCE?"

[NOD.]

(Looking up,
staring at the ceiling.)
(Whisper: voice trembling.)
"I want You
to take all
Your Wrath...
and,
point It,
towards
them."

[QUIET VOICE.]
"I understand,
My child."

(Look up.)
(Nodding.)
"I'm praying,
that they won't
see the light 'a
day....for a long
time."
(Whisper.)

[SILENCE.]

(Gazing intently,
at the ceiling.)
"She was somebody's
child, Lord. And,
she was brutalized:
by those... animals."

[QUIET VOICE.]
"What are you
forgetting,
My beloved?"

(Look up, squinting.)
"What,
Lord?"

[LONG PAUSE.]
[QUIET VOICE.]
"She was
also,
Mine."
********************
Now
I saw Heaven
opened,
and behold,
a white horse.
And,
He who sat
on him was
called Faithful
and True,
and in
righteousness
He judges
and makes
war.
[Revelation 19:11]
