Poetry: If I Can’t Have Her, No One Will!

Wisdom
Power
Eternal Spirit.

Counsellor
Breath of God
Ruach Ha-Kodesh…

the first ever created—

archangel of worship,

the anointed cherub who covers:

became embittered with jealousy,

longing for more

he grieved with lust

bound by envy, he longed for Power!

Who is Power? The breath of God!
desiring the throne 
with cruel embrace 
he sowed within, 
seeds of disgrace.

plotting and scheming, a tale untold.

whispers spreading

across God’s throne.

Seize! Attack! 

war unfolds—

bound by envy, he longed for Power!

Adam, Eve; deceived by him
If I can’t have Her, no one will!
