Poem
...This was the end of Rob’s fantastic tale, we stood their blinking and scratching our heads, then Rob leapt up with the vigor of youth, when merely minutes ago he’d been dead! He said,”I’ve got to go tell the world about this!” at that same moment that man tried to leave, his coworkers had to talk the man down, and let us doctors check him medically. But we found nothing was wrong with his head, we turned him loose to go back to his home, within a week he had started preaching, within three months had followers of his own. Most of the religions cried “Heresey!” They would not yield to a doctrinal change, but followers heard this tale of forgiveness, and their reactions came in a wide range. Some claimed he made excuses for evil, called him a new flavor of Satanist, that without a devil to corrupt man what called evil just couldn’t exist. Others claimed it was proof of God’s greatness, the no being was beyond His power, if He could forgive the Devil himself then it would just help people’s faith flower. If He would not give up on Satan’s sin, then He would never break his trust in us; but then some would say Satan fled our evil, and that our ‘curse of free will’ was the cause. Now the secular folk thought it good fun to watch believers tear themselves apart, was this the end of the faiths we all knew? Or simply a new theology’s start? Folks have asked me, since I witness all this, if I have insight to help them decide whether the Devil is back in Heaven, or if these are rants from a man who near died? Part of my thinks it must be the latter, then I remember that Rob’s alive at all... How does a man walk off without a scar when he fell from a spot twenty feet tall? All I can say is,”I’m just a doctor,” and much of this,”I still cannot explain.” Has the Devil himself been forgiven, or is Rob Abermarle friggin’ insane?
