Jesus's 40 Day Judgment

Here starts Christ’s journey
Jesus enveloped in burning sand 
Starving and alone 
A snake slithered to Jesus 
Yaldabaoth whispered 
“Loved flower of the father 
If you’re truly that 
Tell the stone to become bread” 
But Jesus proclaimed 
“According to your very law 
In your very words 
Man shall not eat bread alone” 
Saklas showed the world 
His painting for Christ to see 
Saklas asserted 
“Treasured light from the bright sun 
If you’re truly that 
Accept these splendid kingdoms  
These are my making 
These are my authority 
Bow down to my tail 
Worship my lion’s face 
And these you will have 
For there is no god but me” 
But Jesus replied 
“Worship and serve God only” 
To mock the craftsman 
By reciting his own verse 
To worship one above him 
Remembering God above 
Samael just snarled 
Brought Jesus to the temple 
On the pinnacle 
Above Satan’s creation 
Samael shouted 
“Precious water from the lake 
If you’re truly that 
Fall like wisdom fell 
For you will be saved 
For my angels shall catch you 
For it’s in my psalm” 
But Christ’s closing reply was 
“Your prophet Moses 
Said Do not test the lord your god 
So by your own law 
I shall not quiver and trip 
So wisdom may rise” 
The lion headed serpent 
Who could not reply 
Slithered away on his earth 
Jesus left the burning sands
