Psalm 106 — The Wrath of God
An Italian Sonnet
You anger Me when you reject your children,
And sacrifice them to your heartless dogmas;
You lay them on the altar of your ego,
Discard them for the favour of your brethren.
Beware! Because of you My wrath has risen.
Now, you may think that they are weird and crazy,
But don’t you know that they’re worth more than credos?
It might have been better if you were barren.
And yet, I will forgive if you repent,
Turn back to love, the greatest thing of all.
If you embrace each soul just as they are,
And do not try to change them, don’t torment,
Don’t say things that could make them feel so small,
And I will welcome You back to My arms.
Esther learned to read when she was four years old, and began writing shortly thereafter. She is a queer Christian poet, crafting with words to create art and music.
