Paradise Recalled

Epoch II: Evolution...

      So it has come to pass that they have evolved. Risen from the dirt, from four legs , to two. Huddled together in the harsh world that had no kind face to show them as Eden had. They learned language, civilization, and most of all, sin. They killed, lied, cheated, and stole for the sole purpose of futhering themselves. Money, indeed, was their master, and He was soon the furthest thing from their heart. He had smote them down once in a liquid storm, and those He had deemed worthy or another chance progressed to become like those He had destroyed.

      What a bittersweet rejoice I felt! That His precious creations proved the worthless desecrations I had all along knew them to be. But oh! I can only picture the turmoil He felt, and I wished only to comfort Him who my heart called out for in the darkness. certainly, His thoughts would return to me, who He has cast down for the sake of the creatures that could not do for themselves...

      So the human race has continued to expand, beyond my own beliefs and perhaps his as well. Creating machinations that exceed belief. They bow their heads to no one, and put full faith in their technology only. Science in their doctrine, their light, and their guidance. Eden has been destroyed and the World He had created bogged down in smog filled air, the pristine Waters filthied with their wastes. Could these truley been creatures of His own loved hand? The ones He wanted us to serve in brotherhood? To guard and protect? Disgusting...

      The misguiding of their hearts has been blamed on me. I, Lucifer, could care less, for I know they are doomed to die. As in that He made their unrepentant souls join me in the Inferno. What does He mean to say? Yes, I refuse to beg forgiveness for being completely incapable of obeying what I was told to do, but I am completely repentant in that I did not wish to disobey Him from the start. They needed no guidance, Sin was born into each and everyone of their souls...

      He even sacrificed His Son for the sake of his 'children's' souls. they are beyond even your warm reach, Beloved of my soul. On the other side of the chasm, I call for You, sob for You. Why is it so hard for You to forgive? Why them and not me? to take such grandoise extents for human salvation when they are not willing to even save themselves. Truly, I am not the root of all evil. Must I be so insidious in Your Eyes? Less brilliant? ahh...even now I bring Light to this Hell. This Hell I am unwilling to accept-- to be the Prince of Darkness wherein I have always been a Child of the Light...

      Even as my army of the unforgiven rise, I am patient for the day that my wingéd brethren shall fall. Shall I then rule this World, that i Yours? Worry not, though blood shall flow rivers, and bones shape the landscape, You shall not be harmed.

      The New World Order that approaches shall be governed by me, until You come to Your proper senses. Until that day, I shall cradle you to me and allow only the most wonderous and magnificent of things to come into Your vision. I will help you forget those that You gave life and in turn so utterly betrayed You. You, ahh You...
