Poem about Ereshkigal
Ereshkigal, goddess of the underworld,
Her realm a place of shadows, death, and pain.
But also a place of power, where the strong hold
And the weak are judged and suffer their disdain.

With a heart of stone and a will of iron,
She rules over the dead with an iron hand.
None dare to challenge her, for fear of damnation,
And all bow down to her command.

But though she may be feared, she is also revered,
For she holds the secrets of the afterlife.
And those who are brave enough to seek her out
Will be rewarded with eternal life.

So let all who would seek the goddess' favor
Bow down before her and offer their praise.
For Ereshkigal is the queen of the underworld,
And her rule shall never be raised.
