Poet Beth "Batyah" Elishevah Ginzberg expresses her creative poetic meditations about water as a very powerful atmospheric element of the environment. Ginzberg wrote these poems at the East Rogers Park Lake Michigan Beaches, on-the-spot, to experientially convey the full effect of the Great Lakes of Chicago, IL USA for your reading pleasure.

SCORPIONS AND SNAKES



Even though the lake water waves look beautiful and sound musical and create an atmosphere of relaxation and peace--there is no such thing as nourishing waters--all waters contain scorpions and snakes.

Enemies abound everywhere, the wicked thrive, the wrong do-ers and oppressors progress and get richer. The righteous live without reward in this life--instead our reward is in The-World-To-Come.

The wicked and evil snakes and scorpions who multiply and dominate the waters find you when you are down and add to your unfortunate plight, continuing to try to make your life miserable.

How to live with these never-nourishing waters? How to become nourished when no waters are nourishing? Answer: Nurture yourself in the constant study of the Torah, Prophets, and Writings.
