God On Trial Part 2
If they are truly your children beloved
Then he’s not different!” Belial mocked
“Since he was your son as they all should be,”
Continued the devil pointing at the jury
“Any one of them could’ve easily saved them all
And restored them as though before their fall!
How is he different can you tell me Lord?”
Pursued Belial sounding bored
“I may call him son but he’s truly me
We are one as you all did see.”
Answered God in a matter of fact
Trying to make a good impact
But Belial was ready and clever
And he refused to give up ever
“That was not a second trial”
Blurted the devil in denial
“When you decide to try us again
You should send us all back to heaven
And then from there we can see
If anyone will touch your wicked tree.”
“I think we have enough to decide,”
Interrupted the judge looking to the side
“The jury will provide their verdict in a while
And I pray, don’t be so hostile.”
And the verdict was in and everyone waited
The judge looked at in and then stated
“The jury finds the defendant guilty
And God has to apply the devil’s plea.
Everyone should be restored to paradise
Free of charge, without a price.”
God laughed and then disappeared
And then, as though a mist has cleared
Belial and the jury realized
That heaven was as earth disguised
They had never been banished from it
But they had deemed themselves unfit
Then Belial disappeared as well
And the people were awakened from the spell
They realized that it all was a legend
And they had nothing to repair or mend
They had been in heaven all the time
But through all their war and crime
They ruined the heaven that they were given
Though all their sins were always forgiven
Now they could see the world anew
And live their lives pure and true
