After Matthew 6:13
Is it evil, or
is it the evil one?
Before entering upon
a theological discourse,
perhaps we should first
ask, does it matter,
this parsing of words,
or is the idea the same.
Evil is the vile one;
the evil one is evil.
The reality is the same,
as it has always been
the same. Focus instead
on the other words,
deliver us from.
