I Have Seen The Devil

A poem of Lucifer

I have seen the devil
I have seen the serpent’s scales
I have seen the hands of Lucifer
Climbing the mountain of Zion
Trying to pull God off of his throne

I have seen the devil
I have seen his forked tongue
I have seen the flesh of Satan
And watched as willing women
Drink the blood of fallen angels

I have seen the devil
I have fought with him and lost
I have seen the death of Christ
Celebrated by his children
In the presence of silent apostles

I have seen the devil
I have watched him chain, corrupt, and kill
I have seen the eyes of Judas
Looking back at me
From my beloved

I have seen the devil
I have seen Asmodeus cum
I have seen sacred songs, poems, and prayers
Turned into something Unholy
And all God’s love undone
