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!
