A Valediction For Lucifer

Agent of darkness King, Of principalities and powers You, Who knows no love But, Hate, scorn and wickedness You, Who sow thorns at night And, Reaps prickles in darkness You; you, Who robs Peter To pay Paul You, Who suck blood Instead, Of giving life You, Who can only Ravage the body But, Not the soul You, Who can only bark But cannot bite You, Who roam around Looking for who to devour You, Who scatters and muddles Instead, Of gathering and molding You; you, Who sow deceit and fear In the hearts of men Instead, Of love and kindness You, Whose only agenda Is, To cause pain, Sorrow and suffering To God's children and kingdom You, Who disappears When, Light appears You; you, Who, Christ shamed and disgraced On the cross of Calvary YOU, Whom, We laid a wreath On his grave More than two thousand years ago Rest in hades LUCIFER!

Thank you for this! It is well executed and i like the form and the alliteration r throughout. Christian poetry runs a risk of being contrite sometimes but your poem hits the mark! Love the title too!
