Poem
The jury of men assembled Heaven and earth trembled The judge of humans arrived And the court’s noises died This was not an ordinary trial For the prosecution was Belial He had devised a better plan To overthrow the god of man And finally god arrived resplendent And took the seat of the defendant “All rise”, the judge cried Everyone in court complied “Be seated,” he called again And the trial was now open Belial started his great attack And knew that he had no way back “You’ve thrown me out of my place, And this has brought me great disgrace” Stated Belial in furious aggression Trying by this to rule the session “You didn’t even give me a second chance, As if you decided it in advance. Your honor I demand my rights It’s he who started all the fights!” “What say you to this, God Almighty?” Said the judge stroking his black goatee “Your honor,” replied God in a gentle voice “It is he who made that terrible choice…” “Objection your honor!” cried Belial Trying to face it with utter denial “Overruled!” The judge replied “We are listening to his side.” And God continued with a smile “I warned him not to do the act so vile He never listened and didn’t care He just went on with his affair.” “What was the affair in question?” Asked Belial in aggression “You refused to praise my creation And tempted them to their damnation!” Replied God in total confidence Very sure of his great defense “I did it to show you that you were wrong And that your were deluded all along. You were so in love with your new toy You couldn’t see that it can destroy And when I showed you what it can do You blamed me of being evil and untrue You cast me alongside them to the earth below And gave us punishments to undergo. Your honor, this is not fair!” Cried Belial and sat in his chair. “What is the solution you propose?” Wondered the judge touching his nose “I demand a second chance for me, As for the humans, we can see.” Proposed the devil with an evil grin Waiting for God’s answer to begin “Your honor it had been done, I gave them a chance and sent my son He erased all their sins with his death He loved them till his last breath They murdered him in coldest blood I could’ve wiped them with a flood!” “Your son, you say?” Belial defied The whole jury was on God’s side But Belial had his trick prepared A master plan to none compared “How can you call people your children, And say that you sent your son then?
