Paradise Lost

This is a poem I wrote in January of 2012, after reading the 17th-century English poet, John Milton's Paradise Lost:

This is the legend of the fallen who committed high treason

Gave life to death with no cure for the lesion

The Adversary of God and Men allowed for a reason

Beauty not appeasing so this Angel turned Demon

Monster

Dreams burned of evil scheming

Lusted for a throne built by the Divine Being 

High, Exalted, the son of the morning

And the quintessential purpose was to return the Glory

But the Reflection of His Excellence was enamored with Bliss

As Dark Eyes initialized a plan to uplift

A throne of his own, betrayed with corrupt lips

Now a VVarr against Heaven and Sin & Death would exist

A Jealous Heart deceived, as Death began to breathe

The moment he believed corruption was conceived

To escape the reality and submit to a lie 

ascending into the Heavenly Paradise

With foresight The Architect perceived the scheme

Of that who shattered peace in the Heavenly Supreme

The Rebellious Arm conveiced a third of the assembly

Now the Outcast are at VVar, against the Powers

To bow before him, now he's worshipped as a diety

Wickedness in their eyes and they would not coward

Burning Fire and Smoke in the Aire

As Satan's Legions began their warfare

The Angels fought the Dragon until the lowest height

With Clashing shields & flaming swords in the darkest night

They prevailed

They conquered

And a third of the Sons of God were banished without word

Satan in his heart said, that he would never change

And his new home in Pandemonium is where he laid

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven

This is where he would dwell...

(...End...)

As Darkness arose, a new Race called Man is witnessed in the Distance

Created with Majesty and Glory, Favored above the Angels

Pronounced among God, with eternal existence

We shall expose their weakness submitting them to disobedience

Seducing them, they shall fall

And their Paradise Lost along with us al
