What If! Poem by Kristina Louisa Carr

Adam - what would you say to me today?
Would you be sorry for the lies told
about my seduction? Would you tell the truth today?
Would you admit that we developed equally from
tiny particles through space and time!

Holy Pope - do you weep at night about the blood
that's clinging to your fortunes? About the
children sacrificed, the virgins raped and the women
burned in the name of God! Do you think that today
God would accept an invitation to your house?

Jesus - would you be dressed in a suit today trying to
sell your writings to strangers? Would the publishers reject
you, having missed bloody crusades and endless wars!
Would you dream of the path of destruction you caused, if
born over 2000 years ago before praying in the synagogue?

Revising history could we have a daughter of God, born
to forgive the sins of men. Could God her mother be a merciful
ruler teaching forgiveness, peace and love. What if God is a
woman and we have it all wrong! What if men could admit
that their scriptures and laws are written to protect men only?
