Religion has myths up its sleeve
15th August is the day
When the Church said Mary flew away
Into the heavens through the clouds
To the amazement of the crowds
Serenity writ on her face;
Yet the Bible has of this no trace...
With this legend well acquainted
This scene by many artists painted
In glowing shades of deepest blue
Evocative - but was it true?
«What is Truth?» bold Pilate said
When soldiers Jesus roughly led
Into his presence, soon to die;
Time to ponder – truth or lie?
