Mary

Mary did not weep or know distress
bur sang a song of joy  
just after she was told  
in Gabriel's address
she’d quicken soon  
because she’d be  
by spirit and by overshading power won  
and give birth to in nine month’s time  
the Most High’s holy son.  
 
She did not feel thereby  
herself undone  
or that her “yes”  to Gabriel  
was costly or against her will  
constrained.  
 
Instead, she praised the Lord  
with ringing words, refrains,  
that signaled  she was raptured,  
pleased,  
to be the chosen means  
the handmaiden,  
through which the  sovereign will  
of Yahweh for his servant Israel  
to be released from its oppressors’  
wiles and hands  
would be enfleshed  
and bring to pass God’s reign  
within the Land  
 
and that she would  be named    
by generations yet to come  
a woman they’d call blessed.

This is written as a correction of the untruths that J-Z postulates in his poorly written abuse of what the author of the Gospel of Luke tells us about Mary in his story of the annunciation and its aftermath.
