God's First Angel

/Kind and sweet was His gaze at first Smooth and pale was his skin Beauty beyond description Calm and peaceful was his voice God's first angel! Perfection was his image God made him! Good in his nature but he made evil I could be like God was his thought A master of my own Be careful around him For he was a clever one "Gather up your armors Revolt, for we are all gods" But he spoke his language Lies! A Fallen angel is all that is left Of him who revolts I met the devil For he said "let me introduce myself I am the devil and I bring pain" Composed by Anita Odure Odeh/

Anita, whether this is read as a religious or a simple good and evil story it is deep and full of meaning, leaving the reader to ponder its nuances. My favorite of yours so far.
