Lawless One

He was a perfect and glorious being
One who followed his Father
But it all changed 
When he wanted to be like him…

...But doesn’t everyone want to be like their parent…

He didn’t want
To be a servant to his Father

He was beautiful and magestic,
An angel in full glory
He was cloaked in the mystical clothes of the divine
And he had all that he could ever want or need
But he was missing one thing
Pride
It was his downfall
Every child seems to think of themselves 
As higher than their parents at some point
But he did have a special gift
Temptation
Which he used to sway others against his father
It was his curse upon the world
Along with its sisters
