You were the first rebel
Not just the Evil Tempter
Who made us taste the Forbidden Fruit
But the first who dared to rebel against omnipotence
To some you were a hero, to others a villain
But to all, you were the absolute evil
You were blamed for everything that went wrong
You were the cause of all our misery
Reviled, hated and feared by most
And adored and worshipped by a few
You were compared to the worst of our race
Or rather, they were compared to you
(Though one wonders if you could have held a candle to them)
After all, what is it that you really did?
By making us taste the fruit,
You only made us aware of good and evil
The choices thereafter were made by us, not you
So why blame you for everything?
Ultimately you are nothing but a fallen angel
Foolish enough to think you could challenge The Omnipotent
And win
But we are the Crown of Creation
Created in God’s own image
We cannot lose
So now we have you
To blame for our ills
And the Son of God
To bear the burden of our sins
