The Fallen Archangel

The following is a hypothetical account of an Atheist addressing God, confronting Him and defying all He stands for. Many references have been made to Satan, the Biblical representation of Lucifer.

Death is not what hath brought me here,

To thy Heavenly Gate.

I may have once been very dear,

But that was just my fate.

Remorse is not what hath brought me here,

Nor reason to confess,

Nor belief nor want nor faith nor fear,

Nor the need to be bless'd.

Now I stand and challenge thee,

Thy myths and all thy fiction.

I shall no longer let my life

Be run by blind conviction.

I will not be illusion'd by

Speeches by priests and pastors.

Holy prayers will only make the

Distance 'twixt us vaster.

I am a maverick, rebelling

Against all convention.

Abiding not by sacred rules

Which holy texts mention.

I stand proud in all my glory,

Never shall I cower.

In reverence at thy holy feet,

Never shall I bow.

My self-respect and sense of worth

Have leadeth me to question,

'Righteousness' and 'Obedience'

As define'd by convention.

I will not let thy tenets guide

My motives and mine actions.

My interest lies in Satanic cults

And demon-worshipping factions.

Thou may sayest that I trespass

The norms laid down by thee.

To thy worshippers it may seemeth

Sacrilege and Blasphemy.

I always was and am an atheist,

Both in death and life.

I always strove to hold mine own

Amidst turmoil and strife.

I always held my head up high;

Though Heaven may be thine,

Decisions to do as I please

Shall eternally be mine.

Thy restricions do maketh the

Forbidden fruit tasteth sour.

Thou expell'd Eve and Adam from

Eden by thy power.

Thou expell'd the Archangels that

Did with mortals breed.

But Greed and Lust are part of me;

To thee I shan't pay heed.

Thy omniscience, omnipotence

And sacrosanctity,

May take o'er the realm of Earth,

But thou canst ruleth me.

Though thou art God and callest this

An aberration of religion,

In mine eyes thy holy visage

Is nothing but a vision.

Since Pride opposes Loyalty and

Faith opposes Reason,

'The Accuser' himself was accuse'd of

Sinning and committing treason.

The Grigori were madeth of fire

And us mortals clay,

Yet we all are damn'd on Earth

Ere dawn of Judgement Day.

If thou dost not permit me to

Enter this celestial abode,

I will not plead nor beg for I

Oppose thy rules and codes.

Though thou mayest banish me to

The dark caverns of Hell,

Like 'The Wanderer' I shall roam

The Earth and stars as well.

If mankind doth witness Satan's Resurrection

Hopefully ere morrow,

Then agnostics and pagans will be

Spare'd despair and sorrow.

'The Morning Star' who dwelleth in

Dark Hades shall avenge

Thy justice that outcasteth him;

He burneth for revenge.

'Tis with great conviction that I

Say this unto thee,

In my view things holy and devout

Will remaineth mystery.

Whither dost thou leadest us?

Thou shalt not lead us further.

The rational mind doth murther faith,

And faith the mind doth murther.

Whether or not I change my ways

That time will only tell.

O ye Lord, knowest thou that even

The brightest Angel fell.
