Poezja

By their choice once perfect happy beings
as Lucifer,
Adam and Eve lost immortality,
they did offer
jealousy, self-centredness, evilness
and did transfer
their loyalty away from selfless love;
their trust, security they did remove.
 
God’s laws, his loving character was clear;
disobedient,
in rebellion and eating from the tree
most deficient
as if not knowing Him they did become;
God omniscient,
had in place a faultless salvation plan
to come to the rescue of mortal man.
 
Lucifer and his angel followers
did not want it,
they wanted to be gods in their own right,
some bit by bit
more evil, unkind and cruel they become,
they were not fit
to live in love, harmony or in peace;
hatred, evil was a spreading disease.
