The Truth About Artemis

I shot a bow and arrow
I didn't kill a sparrow

Hit target on first buy
righteous twas bulls-eye

I did not hunt for deer
though I kept one near

There is a misconception
concerning my reputation

For one I don't shape-shift
not a holy type of gift

No harm done to Orion
no heads of the Mayan

I am mentioned in the Bible
as revered and not tribal

I condone not being worshiped
I assist my fellow merchant

I aid those not so blessed
as well as those who guessed

I hope this clears things up
one day we'll dine and sup

Silent One Date: 10/24/2020 3:58:00 AM I do like Greek mythology, but do not know much about it.. I wrote a poem once featuring some of the Gods..
