The promise of Gilead

VI.VIII
"Become the prophet of the world to come
and you can have your heart's deepest desire
or else reject the call of Holy Son
and watch the world return to ash and fire."
It's not been long twixt now and laboured years of school
where literature was thought in terms of moral tales
thus she recalls in Hobson's Choice, the tool
of choice is oft to be the hammer or the nails.
What choice has she but to accept the part
she stupidly has set in motion here;
at least she has a way to satisfy her art
and ease the guilt by drawing out her fear.
