Letter from the Devil

I was born unseen
Out of God’s ignition,
Out of his omniscience.
I first was an angel
Who fell from his grace
Then became the Devil
Lord of the Dark.

My sin? I really do not know
But He called it Vanity
And named me the pretentious.
However I do think
There is no greater vanity than his
In creating you, man
In his image and resemblance.

O Man, you are much to him alike
Like your father you use me
In the practice of demonising your kin
And evoking your apprehensions in me,
Tell me, would not you be the Devil,
And not me?
