The Five Word Challenge - the First Daughter of Eve

My Father, See the little serpents slither Among the Wolfsbane, the Foxglove and the Daffodil My mother distains the creatures, And fears the beauty of my garden Though I see splendor in their movement They dance carefully in the night, The moonlight shining on their freshly shed scales Why are they punished for an ancient wrong? Why are they hated for their doings? Am I like the snakes, in my father’s eye? A limbless mistake? A falsehood you know, As they wait to accuse, And always abuse? Fallen Lucifer laughs in the crevices, As he has taken my brother with the rock of another, My desires remain in the ground, Among the burrowing creatures round For it is a falsehood you know That we, the children should be blamed For a wrong made by the very ones who made us I will dance in the moonlight, I will water my beautiful, poisonous plants And I will live and die like the ones before me I will bear others, and keep watch of their growth 6/4/16 For The Five Word Challenge contest, hosted by Timothy Hicks Five words used: Lucifer Know Wolfsbane Always Little
