Mother Kali by Devi Nina Bingham



Voo-doo

who-do

You-do

deserve it!


Say the magic words

to cast an ancient spell

feather of a mockingbird

and a rusty metal nail.


Some say she's a nerd,

some say she's from hell.

It depends on what you've heard-

others say that she's in jail.


The Hindus of old

worshiped Mother Kali

the Goddess of fright

can even make you feel jolly.


She wears her enemy's skulls

of the foolhearted's folly

with her tongue she will bite,

pins and needles stab the dolly. 

Mother Kali, Mother Kali,

wielding her sword 

defiantly naked 

as cups of blood pour.


Run as fast as your legs can flee

yet to me, your devoted child

you are my consolation,

my protector run wild. 


Voo-doo

who-do

You-do

deserve it!
