Lot's Wife Poem by Martin Greyford

Once upon a time.
It was many and many
A year ago
In the land of Sodom and Gomorrah
Where Lot and his family
Lived after
They separated with the uncle, Abram.

The land was fertile
And it was a vast market
For different commodities
And a haven of all immoralities
Upon the face of the deep.
The Lord appeared to Lot
In form of angels

And he received them hospitably.
The countrymen of that land
Wanted the men that Lot allowed in his house
So they could sleep with them.
I'm sure Lot pleaded with them
To take his two daughters instead
Rather only did they want those men.

The Lord was angry with that scene
And told Lot to leave the land immediately
And rush to the near mountains
Without looking back.
They didn't have time to prepare
What to carry or not.
They just started off for it was an emergency exit.

Near the mountains,
They could hear the fire falling down like grenades
And I believe they were terrified.
Lot's wife for a moment thought of the treasures
She had left behind and her heart
Wanted to see the land she called home for the last time.
They were successful in sheep rearing

So they had a lot.
Lot's wife turned back
To see what was happening behind
Their backs and bid farewell to all the cosmetics.
The moment she turned back
She became a pillar of salt
And perhaps died at the spot.
