In Lilith should we find the human race
revenge the solemn pledge as satyres please
where sinful misconstrued is her disgrace
that should we not attempt to now replace.
Her evils scarred an abled fellow wimp,
on ancient Israel's soil, through desolate,
synopsis where those angers - journeys limp
refer to them, whose yeald should not partake.
Apparently where Lilith fled the lee,
from which examples term it 'true desire',
that lust be made redundant, set her free,
And grow instead, an orchard from the fire.
From this the garden known as Eden brings,
The hefty burden. Here! More nasty things.
Author notes
The Lilitu, the Akkadian Ardat-Lili and the Assyrian La-bar-tu like Lilith, were figures of disease and uncleanliness. Ardat is derived from "ardatu", a title of prostitutes and young unmarried women, meaning "maiden". One magical text tells of how Ardat Lili had come to "seize" a sick man.[1] Other texts mention Lamashtu as the hand of Inanna/Ishtar in place of Lilitu and Ardat lili.
