She Will Not See
. for public domain
She will not see the pain she brings
her sisters and her brothers.
No longer will she face a mirror,
the joy inside her smothers.
Wrinkles have usurped her youth,
so she thinks her beauty gone.
Her once lovely face, nothing dearer,
now aging cheeks are thin and drawn.
"Appearances are all there is,
life is brutal, short, unfair";
but Heaven's Ear, it shall not hear her,
for she offers up no prayer.
And those who would adore her well,
gladly take her place in Hell,
suffer most when they are near her,
deluded by a Jezebel.
