The Story of Jezebel

Jezebel was a very evil witch.
She saw all, and espied it upon the tapestry.
Therefore, what was real, she said was not
And what was not, she said was real.
Thus, all things became a mess
When she changed the times and laws
To make every statement False.

"For," she said, "If I am queen,
"I get to make true. What I wish to make true.
"Therefore, if a rival King were born
"I get to make it a day which I choose.
"For I am, and there is no one else.
"I make the laws, I make the customs
"All truth is hinged off of my desires."

Elijah, like other men,
Had a memory, not perfect, but enough.
He remembered the arts and sciences
As some of it were.
Yet, he saw, the arts and sciences were made false.
Thus, he became a little insane
And bit his nails, and chattered his teeth
Until, he came upon Herodotus.
He saw it had changed.

Thus, Elijah cried, "It is Jezebel!
"It is Ahab! It is Jehoram!"
And she allied with Sennacherib, too.
And thus, he set to prove it.
Yet, all mocked and laughed.
They said, "You are just a loon
"Elijah. No such thing is possible."
Yet, Jezebel's demonic spies
Crept into the corners of all the houses
And changed all time, all law,
All science, all custom.
To which, it was Baal,
And Elijah would not bow the knee.

Thus, Elijah cried out,
"I see Good, and I've seen Good
"And all the stories lost their luster!"
Jezebel cried, "It is better, don't you know?
"Don't let people have too much hope
"Or they become weak like you."

Yet, she mocked one day a vile man
And this man was not good, you see.
Yet, she mocked him, thinking herself to be a god.
And he threw her from a window.
He did not care.
And when they went to bury her,
She was consumed to the marrow
By dogs, who licked her bones,
And snarled when someone tried to take a bone
To bury.
