An Ode To Lilith

He, the almighty, is ubiquitous, an omnipresent force Lilith, the first woman – made from Earth - defied him. He, the almighty, held no empathy for beings like her. Lilith, the first wife of the first man – despised him. He, the Almighty, came to know fear – The extraordinary virility of her witchcraft troubled him. Lilith, the martyr – deserted the splendors of Eden Her buffoonery - her egotism disgusted him He cursed her, “One hundred of her children would die every day.” Her agony - her depression thrilled him Lilith – the first wife, the first woman – lost in history He, the Almighty – deceived the gullible into idolizing the spectacular him Lilith, the queen, infamously a demon, covertly a Queen. Eureka! She is the woman of all women and the enemy of him! DATE OF POEM - 05/29/2018 FIRST POEM - Never End 05-01-2018
