Microbe manic rage-rat

Unseen , a dark night

Flees the probe and ‘scope light

To seek revenge—humanity’s fate

Equalizing population a fixed date

Death-cancer consumes itself to no end.

This is not my will

Do not kill the messenger

Your pain is well earned.

Light banished dark nine

But last son, wily of tongue,

duped the left behind.

This is quite an interesting myth. Good haiku Honeygloom, you focused on the topped up misery bought about by this goddess.

She’s a terrifying one, definitely! And thank you 🙏

Nine born, nine plagues

To loose upon us, mother.

Did you see what birth unleashed?

Better to unsee those children.

Ooo interesting, maybe her blindness was so she didn’t have to be complicit. Very cool take🖤
