Poem
I kept up with the questions as Lucifer stared into a vacancy which the echo of a star explosion could disappear into, but I constantly felt Him paying attention to me despite the hallway of History, do you really buy souls, as though I failed at something He said, " No, not at all, I tempt souls to continue returning to my home; I provide an oasis for those grown melancholic with endless peace & pleasure," what do you mean, " I give adventure to the ambitious, I create chance for those despairing, I sautee love for the starving lost," so you're a steward of sorts, " Lets say I'm an undying inspiration," the Devil asked me, " What is it that you do for a living?", I said, " I'm a cook", " Ah " He said, " You're a chef; my favorite type of food is Italian, so balanced. Are you happy with your job?" " I live by the understabding that our jobs do not define who we are, we just determine the results of our jobs." Satan responded, " My job is to keep souls coming back, to maintain a tastey and affordable resturaunt. According to your terms then, that responsibility doesn't determine who I am though." " So who are you then?" " I am living truth, I'm magic in a volatile existence." He asked again, " Are you happy," " Yes", "Why " He said, " Because I like who I am." with a mellow confidence Lucifer replied, " I am happy for the same reason, I like who I am." We took breaths, a nice attribute of Satan is that He is not tempermental, it seemed as though nothing I asked would anger the man, His presence has the gentle but massive power of a glacier, " Your critics claim that you use people, or possess them, is this true?" " I motivate others so that they use their abilities for the most sensational ends, I helped Julius Caeser become Imperator, but I can't take full control over a person's spirit, however I am capable of entering a mortal's mind and influencing behavior, I can be a music that delivers a certain rythem to the heart." before I could forget I had asked what He was doing during the rise of the Roman Empire, " What wasn't I doing back then. Around that era I invested a ton of energy in North America fomenting war between two major Indian tribes, one of which became the Iriqoui & the other simply disintegrated into many; I was attempting to expedite that regions war instrument technologies, came away with the long bow but not much more. " J.A.B.
