Lucifer's Gift

Everyone always associates Lucifer with betrayal but don't notice that if not for him we would not have a reason to think about what we do. Need darkness in the light. Trickster vs Hero.

Oh fallen one how are you,
The lights main adversary,
The murderer of innocence,
The archangel trapped on earth.

Oh how misunderstood you are,
Disfigured your cause becomes,
So do slanderous tongues strike,
Against your brittle skin.

Don't they see that if not for you,
Here we would not be,
We would be trapped inside a garden,
Just a science fair project.

You are the Prometheus,
To the great Zeus we've come to love,
Punished for the knowledge,
You have given us.

We were to be perfect,
Perfect and immortal,
Easily manipulated,
To serve our purpose and be done.

But you wanted more,
You wanted us to live,
To know from right and wrong,
Weight our choices and decide.

Oh so how are you now Lucifer,
I am doing so well,
Thankful for this gift,
The God of this Earth.

a wonderful tribute to Lucifer! Bringing a perfect end to those wrong ideas and belives that people have against Lucifer. His presence without a shadow of doubt has given a lot to mankind. Relating him with betrayal and other negative acts is ridicuously dumb. the sense of whats write and whats wrong needs its foster father and none other than Lucifer himself fits that role.
a perfect 666 to you for writing this piece!

This is a very interesting take on Lucifer. Something, I myself have sat and thought over. It's executed really well. Well done
