Once Upon a Mattress - In a little while

And it all turned to dust

....The walls, the tables, the chairs, the valuable decorations in the lavish area and yes, even the people. Gone, never to be seen again, except in the dust that now remained thick where everything had once been. To adjust, to realize that those who had once been so prominent in our lives would never have power in our world, was far easier than it might have seemed. Our choice had been made and to look back at this point would bring nothing but pain and unnecessary regret. So we walked out into an unknown world, a fairly easy task when there is nothing to miss behind you, and vowed to forget it all...

Something to think about

From Atwoods 'Theology' in 'Good Bones'

"...If Heaven is a good place and preferable to earth, why is murdering good people bad? Wouldn't you be doing them a favour, since that way they'd get up there sooner? Only murdering bad people should be bad, since they weren't about to go to Heaven anyway. But if they were bad enough, surely they deserve to be murdered. So murdering both good people and bad people was actually quite good, all things considered: to the good people you'd be giving a helping hand, to the bad ones their just desserts. ..."

"...We were told we were dirty. We were dirty. Dirt was our concern, dirt our business, dirt was our specialty, dirt was our fault. We were the dirty girls. ..."

"...it gave you pleasure
you raised your hand
you watched us fall

we danced on air
the ones you failed
the ones you killed..."
