Prometheus- Why Evil Exists

Lucifer:


''Why should i be obedient all days?
I do what He does and say what He says
What about what I may want to create
why should I serve only , O accursed angelic fate !
That creature, man , who is formed purely from dust
Can do what he wills ,theres nothing he must
And that Child , Son of Man holds all the keys
He opens and shuts up life whenever he may please
But I , Lucifer , son of the day dashing around and around
am nothing more than a mere servant , low as the ground !
Like an unquestioning angel , I did His Will , contented with my lot
Until , fire did I steal for my heart , and it burns me and makes me hot .
If I can make this fire
then who needs the sire ?
Who needs His light when I can make mine
I'll call myself God and make hell my shrine
If all life is made of Light and Light I can make
Perhaps all life is mine , and life I can take !
I'll convince other angels - put a coal to their hearts
Let them taste carbon ,the triple six from where life starts ''



A third of all the hosts of the hosts of the ground
in Lucifer's company were to be found
Deceived and seduced by the double edged word
'Power' ,they sought to be gods and overthrow The One Lord





''My spirit is my own !
I will answer to none
Behold ! I am God !
I am God and I heed and need him not !
I am the harbinger of all the dawns
Without me , there will be is no Sun
If he so wishes , God may issue whatever decree
But noone ,not even God can command me

Be there now ten million guards
With arrows dipped and tipped
and taut to tear ,
I shall not refute my claim
I ,and not God will establish my name !
God does make fools of us all
he builds us up and wants us to fall
Mounts us with wings
And expects us to crawl .
And in one razing swoop acts to foil
the futile fumbling that is our toil.

But in my final falter can I choose
To virtuously cede or bitterly lose
And with my dying breath choose I
To venomously curse or gloriously cry !
Nothing in heaven or hell affrayes me
Lucifer will not be moved
the storms of Heaven will not faze me
Better to be bold , and to die and to boast
Than within my chained burning heart
eternally roast
The tides of Divine Will will not drown me out
come they may , relentless and rolling
I will not sit .
O !
I will swim until I die !''




God:

''Desolate am I,I have lost my beloved
Lucifer, Lucifer, a son to me. To me now dead
My trust, my light , the light of life
Has turned to darkness,he has created strife
I created him in Love, hewn from my bone
Polished him with purity, on him my splendour shone
Of all the angels , I made him by far the fairest
Hair of lambs wool..lamb. To my presence he was nearest
The closest to me, the one who received the most Light
And thus I blessed him alone with skin, skin black as night
He fed on ambrosia the milk of my grace
Flowers bloomed from his breath, beauty flourished where he turned his face
And rushing around the Universe performing my Will
He drank in the mysteries of the orb to the fill
My knowledge was planted in him, he was a tree in my hand
His knowledge surpassed good and evil, everything, intimately, everything he did understand
Until the day, when I created the Suns using fire
Lucifer kept a jealous flame in his heart , where it burned, his own pyre
He became so jealous of his younger brother, of the gardener, man
That with his secret knowing,he devised his unsacred plan

Lucifer,my Lucifer!
master of disguise
maker of lies
Builder of towers
That challenge the skies!
Lucifer! My Lucifer!
Keeper of fantasies

Lucifer!…The fire kept burning and so did his pride
It whispered ambition, conquering, fear, rule by divide….
O Lucifer! Icarus! Your sinful pride gave you wings with which you fell
upwards to that haughty high place of arrogance- high hell
the abode of the proud , the puffed up place in the sky
You left your home, Heaven here below, where lowliness is exalted as high
Those who raise themselves up shall be brought hell, the home of the real low
Those who are meek of heart shall be truly raised and true paradise know

Therefore , Micheal , Apollo will be sent to discipline you
I shall use your pride in my saving and make all things new .''




Apollo, lamenting Lucifer's plight
ascended to hell in wingless flight
He fought the renegades by land and by sea
vengefully as was the Most High's decree
He breathed flames upon every vain joy
that Lucifer had ever sought to employ
and the two dragons fought a aoeon far and wide
until Damocles sword , the dark one could not abide
It severed the false morning star from every tree
and raised him down to bended knee
And before the fated levelling stroke
The dark light ,head low , breathed in and spoke


God :
Apollo ! Restrain !Let Lucifer be
Let my son supplicate to me

Lucifer:
''O my God ,who pardons all iniquity
Hearken my cry, Good God and set me free
Hear my prayer , O Lord of Hosts
Forgive me , they were all vanities , false boasts!
Mistaken since my pride was born
I supposed my candlelight to be the whole sun
I placed myself on too high a podium
While even the gods were mingling in the forum
Though unrepentant for the fire that I did steal ,
That furnishes this thing which they call zeal
But In you do I trust
As I intimately know that all us living beings must.
Be I blow by blow, I am still unbowed unto the kill
I avouch total submission to Your will ''



God heard his plea and pardoned the sinner
He beckoned Apollo to bring forth the prisoner
Lucifer , former hand of God ,yesterday glorious
Now, in chains ,scorched from hell's cold ,unvictorious
Gone his former splendour, pale from no Light
His eyes glazed over , his skin deathly white
(For hell is a cold place where the Light of God reaches not
There is no warmth ,no heat ,no sun .Only proud ambition is burns hot.)



God :
''You…!You who were the one closest to me, Lucifer
Though you passed all the light I had to transfer
But with so much light, illusion was borne
and your reverence of me turned to scorn
Were you the one who established all life?
Who created substance when nothingness was rife?
Who set up White Light and from it separated colours?
Who created Isis and from her separated Horus?
Did you make Jupiter or Mercury or form flesh from wielded clay?
O …O……Did you make yourself, sweet Lucifer, son of the day?


But I Yahweh am slow to condemn and quick to forgive
Because of your repentance, you will not die , but surely live


Well I have here a plan
Concerning my beloved, man
I have made him to be like Me
Choosing the path of His Destiny
He may choose to go left though I say ‘turn right’
He may choose to call day that which I label ‘night’
In all my creation in this, unique is he.
Not even you angels ould be what he can be
Through you, I am about to turn bad into good
Spiritual alchemy! I shall perfect man’s heart, test him. Turn lead into gold!

You will now be called Satan, for a tester shall you be
Your new job will be to cling close to man and test his story
You old winged dragon, ill make you a snake
That you may wind close to the ground and every move he might make!
I want man in spite of his freewill to choose to follow my way
So go down there, be a king of disguise, subvert all I say!
Become the Father of Lies, call yourself Mammon and seduce man to you
O, may man feel the difference between your wiles and what's true.
Fashion him fire and pretend this is Light
Seeing the false substitute, may man see what’s right?
Here, take power to connive and confuse
Man is my masterpiece .By Jove ! May he rightly choose !''

The Invitation

Come away with me,
And let us feast on little slices of infinity…

Well borrow a boat
And paddle up the creek into tomorrow.
And at the turning of the river
Our hearts will bend into one.
