Satanic versus

Satanic versus…

Innumerable epics, so many religions

Paths leading the way to heaven

Teaching us right from wrong

Telling us to live, love, celebrate

Not kill, grieve and hate

So much hype around God

Around this religious Guru and that

Trying to convince us that He is almighty

Yet…in each one of us Satan lives…

More certainly than God does

Every time we talk of good ,

It is in relation to evil…

We cannot seem to exorcise him

From ourselves, from our society

He wins every time ..reinvents himself

Sometimes I wonder if he created God

Or we created God to deal with him

He manifests in each one of us

In everything we feel and do

Sorrow, hatred, envy, fear, destruction, war

And where is God? Just in our minds?

And if He is in our minds,

Why aren’t all our thoughts divine, Godly, Kind?

Why do we spend our entire lives

trying to find Him,

If we are already part of Him?

Why is Satan so easily a part of us?

We have sorely missed God sometimes

But Satan never left us…

He’s around us, within us…omnipresent

You can find him everywhere, smirking

No meditation, no mantras, nothing

He seems to exist independent of it all

I think about it sometimes and shudder

Maybe it is only he that can rescue us

Free our souls, leave us pure again

Should we be worshipping him instead?

Praying, pleading with him, to just let us be?
