Casualty Or Cause
Casualty or cause?
A question where we’ll pause:
war’s chicken/egg conundrum with the truth.
Employing logic flawed,
inadequately awed,
thus, Lucifer brought war to the Most High.
He sought to share dominion,
held high, his own opinion,
a creaturely inflation of self-worth.
Pride, the worst of all,
swift led to Satan’s fall,
and thus was he cast down from lofty skies.
And though he was imprisoned,
his heart, full of derision,
sought vengeance in destruction of the earth.
Perhaps inspecting here,
an understanding clear
emerges from this epic tale of woe.
For with forbidden fruit,
the serpent did recruit
our parents by assault on verity.
Does truth die due to war,
or does death come before?
In understanding Satan’s case, we know.
Envisioning self god,
he thus committed fraud;
a lie he was too willful, blind to see.
And so down through the ages,
man’s wicked heart still rages
against the Truth, near constantly at war.
From Putin’s evil rise,
we trace back to the lies
we’ve bought in perpetuity since youth.
And thus, we can’d deny
the war follows the lie;
we’re just repeating what’s transpired before.
