Lilith makes me wonder by ~athenaRules:iconathenaRules:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Spiritual > Fixed




What if Adam just plain lied
     And  Eve
        with apple juice
           Running down her chin

Just     let    it    slide

Is the whole story  a hoax

A different mother
                    than Mary
                        No father
                           Son
                             Holy Ghost

Was Lilith really all that bad

             She  just wanted to be free

                  The desert is hard on Mustangs
                              And her man was not handy

Was Mary really a virgin

          did Joseph just herd the sheep

Did Mary feel passion
         desire
            her body eternally saved
                  from damnation fire

As God swept her off her feet

the writers got it  wrong
          
fumbling the interception

Immaculate deception

going to burn in hell
             because  I  swear
                                dance
                           love the universe as a she
not  believing
        I  grow  from A rib seedling
                    half as good as he

dammed

I have loved the boys
    
And maybe one girl

Will  the devil make me an appetizer
            at his red
                  red
                     feast
OR

Will I be spat back
          for being only mediocre evil
                    By the carnivorous  beast
If I worked
          and loved
               and tried to do good each day

Is my journey truly paved to hell
               With the my heart leading the way

If I gave
and prayed to the sky
          for more mercy in me
                 than pain I received
   
Would God just roll his eyes

And the devil be relieved

Author's Comments

This is not a poem about not having faith, it's a poem about wondering. Mostly inspired by the rather unfriendly um, "organized" religous church accross the street from me. I know they conspire to see if there is something in our town laws to hang me as a witch....I have a few friends in my one cow town that would cut me down, if I really could not fly after all.

If you are not familiar with Lilith, look it up.....(Adams first wife....before she ran away).



The painting is one I did of Lilith, the copy is a bit "BrIGHT" to post in my painting gallery so I am going to send her with this poem for now.

Lilith makes me wonder by *athenaRules is a rather aerie little poem which demands answers to some very heavy questions. (Suggested by `demonlight and Featured by `ndifference)

Got my tickets for Tori, now I am cleaning my house, got groceries that was fun, and just sorted my bills out, it's too early for me to start drinking :) to the fact I am poor again.
I can't tell if I have good tickets or ass ones, the venue map is useless. I got an extra ticket, hopefully I will find a brave soul to go that can deal with my toriphelianess.

Get more coffee I have to finish washing more dishes....I want a maid, really I do or at least a housekeeper. I become more and more undomesticated everyday.

i shall use my awesome powers of spatial distortion to create a rift in the space-time continuum so that we may easily be closer together.

Love your poem. Wonder what the "organized" would respond to your question....."Yes" ? And I may not be in your little cow town, but I would definitely send you a broom if yours was broken!!
