in thru the bedroom window
the knife cut screen hanging by a thread
the young blonde girl taken captive
straight from the safety of her bed
sliding quietly on the living room floor
and out the front door
under the banner of Heaven
whispering songs of religious war
a madman with conviction in his eyes
wearing a white robe at night
without any pretense or surprise
His God believed in everything precisely written
no possibility of Joseph Smith lies
and the captive to be held as a wife
at the age of 14,
to become the bearer of a new life
after the repeated rapes.
