Heavens Election Day

He woke unto the morning sun His halo cracked from sleeping wrong For today’s the day elections take place Today’s the day for the saving grace He promised all that vote for him To do what the current cant for them The promise was to regain the throne And destroy the devil so they could roam Democracy still rules the gates Every 1000 years a new challenger debates As the ruler of the current prepares To combat the challenger for the coming years “I promise all that vote for me To banish the bad unlike the hero you see” These were his words to gain the votes As all the angels gathered to hear the quotes The current ruler stated this “We need evil to balance” as there was a hiss All the Angels heard this bliss As the current ruler let his tongue slip The challenger out of fury replied “I think we have an imposter I tell you he lies” Heavens population did not believe As they thought it was a trick by the new one to deceive The current one stated unto the crowd “My fellow angels here me out loud The one you see before my eyes Is truly a devil in disguise” The challenger now taken back Turns to crowd and hastely attacks “If that is the case why does he not see Those horns around his head higher than me” The crowd notices and begins to smeer As the current removes his robe and gear Revealing his true form unto his peers Revealing scars of battles through the years “What do you think of me now?” I got these scars from fighting the you I did my sentence now reformed to true I used to be a devil but now I am like you The crowd stood back and cheered him on As forgiveness does reign in the kingdom For he was right there needs to be bad For without it there would be no reason to be glad The challenger of good in shock and disgust Relieved himself from heaven to dust For now he is challenging the world down below Who knows the new Satan could have wings and a halo
