Lilith
Lilith, y ou could not quench your need,
Within the garden of the simple life.
You performed a forbidden deed,
Then no longer were you Adam’s wife.
You spoke the name of the Almighty God,
Then he gave you immortal power.
Away he sent you with a nod,
As the guardian of the underworld, you tower.
Are you to be feared by mankind?
Are you good or evil, witch or demon?
Do you have a selfish plan,
That brings about the tears of women?
We sing our children lullabies
To keep our them snug and safe.
It is told you will take them without a sigh,
From the entitled to the waif.
Is it not enough to satisfy yourself,
To keep those mythical creatures at bay,
Unicorn, troll, fairy and elf.
Then let the children stay.
