satan was once an angel

"A man lies in his bed in a room with no door,
He waits for a presence, something, anything to enter,
After spending half his life searching,
He still felt as blank as the ceiling, at which he still stared,
He is alive, but feels absolutely nothing.  
So is He?
When he was six he believed the moon overhead followed him,
By nine he deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact,
No trade backs.
So this is what it is like to be an adult.
If he only new now what he knew then.....
I'm open................."                                   --Pearl Jam.



When the Angel became Satan


Lights, fluorescent and brilliant tore through time,
Carried colors ricocheted of the ocean skin
Spraying colors of green and red, and those in between,
The tranquility of life shattered by something apparently beautiful.

Timely, though it seemed, the light separated more than space,
Life and wholeness too lay asunder, safety and wellness aside.
Truthfully health and happiness fell to the waste, dreams left to die.
All felt, in the core, the last of the white placed on the altar.

Death crept, like a slithering predator in the blade,
Encrypting what was to be true and right, with the self as the one,
Wasting life and the purity of the holy for the self,
Only to embrace the lonely, the self and the alone.

Death stared like a friend long lost, smiling with selfish intent,
Teeth red with the glimmering hope and life's joy.
Unsure of what would happen, yet sure of the inevitable.
Life would continue, but is it considered life?  
Without happiness or understanding, it is deserving of death and resolve.

What once was holy is now filth,
The pure white is now crimson,
Intentions pure have rooted from hate,
Led from the Lord will lead to Hell.

The truth of the young ignored,
But for the badge of the parent.
Nothing but a periscope explain how it should be.
Unless you remember how it should.


Satan (be He real) holds many forms.........
You are filthy,
You are unholy,
And you should be ashamed.
