The Forked Tongue Poem by Kim Schilling

More clever than any beast -
Yield to the tongue of the Serpent!
Inauspicious Bellysbabble.
Language of the laughing Devil;
Sprinkled with intoxicating wit.
Infused with bewildering puns.

He is vexed by the malevolent fiend –
Great transformation in the Garden!
And Man’s first brusque defiance,
Bringing Death into the world;
His soul forever to perdition,
Living on a Woman’s shame.

Escape from Eternal Life with Him –
Search for comfort in infernal abode!
The people will act out duplicitously.
They will speak with forked tongues;
Darkness will be called Light,
And evil good, and good evil.
