The Maid a Portrait by ~kamikazi1231:iconkamikazi1231:

         The Maid a Portrait

I am forgotten, forever hunched
         On knees long worn, scrubbing
Washing away, yesterdays memories
         Once glorious, delicious
Now but disease, reaching up over
         Worn yellow gloves
I am the warrior, without pain
         Long days and longer nights
Nursing the wounds of battle
         Calices torn and rewoven
Patches sewed, rough upon
         Once silky smooth skin
Dried and cracked
         Soap and water
I am all that is best in you
         Or what you wish to be
Tirelessly cleaning, mopping
         Never complaining
Clawing up the mountain
         Never falter, freedom
But until then,
         I am the person, who daily
Pulls the curtain over the grime
         I complete your illusion
To slowly build My own

"Scoffers of the Bible's Prophesies tend to readily embrace other false belief systems, ie: rapture, Nostradamus, evolution, & the History Channel's opinions." "It's very dangerous to call one's self a Christian, and call God's Word a conspiracy theory."
