You think you know me,
The pillar of salt.
The woman who looked back
To see the city she loved destroyed.
My greatest sin was loving
My family, my home,
My friends, and my community.
I was a good wife.
I raised my children
I submitted to my husband
I did my duty.
I listened as my husband
Offered my daughters up to be
Used for their pleasure.
I watched as he spend time
With those unseemly near
The city gates.
I followed when he said
“ Thus said the Lord”
and we left. Fleeing
EVERYTHING we had established.
Yet again.
So I looked back.
I heard the screams of my friends
I wanted to see my beloved home one more time.
I looked back…
And became no more.
God supposedly saved
My husband- the “one righteous man”
Who would then go on to have
Relations with our daughters
While my salty ashes were
Still drifting in the wind.
My story is told over and over
I’m the rebellious wife who
Longed for the world
I paid for my sin with my death.
But you don’t know me.
What if my story is here
As a warning to women.
Showing women that following the
Wrong person can lead to
Their utter destruction.
Just as following mine
Destroyed me.
