The Fall of the Great

The Devil, before he fell, should probably have been called Jewel For like a red sparkling diamond, he shined and with praises, he did swell He was at that time, a most good looking being Made of a pure mind, a golden heart and a most adorable soul He had the darkest curly hair The sweetest look on his face, given by two hazel eyes And of course, the most innocent smile ever God liked him, for he had the ability to make God laugh His pranks and his mischievous ways would ignite the whole of Heaven Angels would need to leave their duties To participate in the jolly mood of well being God liked him, because he was a good singer Whenever he was asked to sing, he would always sing according to God's mood God liked him, because he always knew what God wanted to eat Each day, each night, he was the one to instruct the cooks God liked him best because he was fully able to take care of everything From the happenings on Earth To the sufferings to be inflicted in Hell To the bestowed fates of new souls He would manage it all, by being calm and soothing God found in him perfection Indeed, Lucifer, for that was his real name, was a well crafted piece of creation God found in him beauty His perfection and his innocence gave him such an allure But when the Devil became imbibed with the sins of desires When he wanted power, glory, adoration for himself God could tolerate it not God's view changed No longer a piece of perfection was Lucifer Rather, he was an object of darkness Despicable and ugly So God brought to him his fall, hoping that through suffering Lucifer would atone Why, it may take centuries, ages even But God still had hope, his favorite would have a change of heart! Oh yes, of that He does be sure of! Someday, His sublime creation shall come to his senses And this senseless fight between the dark and the light will come to an end!
