Kali

by xoxShorteexox   Dec 8, 2011


She's known as the black goddess and the destroyer,
the word kindness is nothing she cares to know about,
she dances and worlds are pushed into a vortex of death,
swaying of her hips can cause mythical floods to appear.

When her feet touch the ground in this destructive dance,
she can make any number of men fall to their knees for her,
with a slight hand movement she can make children be stillborn,
she dances over her husband's corpse along with many others.

She killed a fearful lord that controlled demons by sheer will,
allowing her tongue to flick over the blood from his corpse,
she drank their lord's blood and the world fell into devastation,
she created a frenzy of disaster with every dance step.

The empty voids of a mad woman for what are known as eyes,
she calls herself the black one just like the moonless nights,
to remain alive, you must love her and welcome her inside of you,
while you lived among the ashes of a fallen world with darkness herself.

Kali ("the Black Goddess") is the destroying form of Devi ("Goddess"), the Indian Great Goddess. Her power and prominence show mythological roots in the matriarchal Dravidian past.
