I entered nothing
And nothing entered me
I chose a path of darkness
The Lord prepared to see
I wanted nothing my God
Only freedom for humankind
You made me evil in their eyes
I left your world behind
God so loved the world
That he gave you me
Lucifer the winged serpent
Are you prepared to see?
My darkness means you can look
And see the light shining
Because you can see it
The light no longer confining
Light bringer - my name
A Devil in your eyes
But Jehovah so decieving
Gave you love and told you lies
I help you see his glory
I'm not the thing you think I am
I am a part of the story
I am the sins of God and man
I entered nothing
And nothing entered me
I did it voluntary
Darkness for you to see
I am the first creation
The one and only son it's true
I am the Morning Star
And you thought there were two
A boy from the line of David
They called him the son
And the bright Morning Star
But there was ever only one
I came in disguise for you
Do I look Evil at all?
I entered darkness it's true
I am the Angel of the fall
You ask me to explain it
Did he struggle with evil?
He struggled with his own conscious
His own human will...
I entered nothing
And nothing entered me
I walk a path of darkness
So the light you can see
My cross is broken
My name both good and bad
My number remains the same
I am both elated and sad
I hold the secret of life
My blood runs in your veins
I am the tears you're weeping
You know we are the same
I entered nothing
And nothing entered me
I am your deepest darkness
So God's light you can see

this poem flows very well, the imagery is great and I like the ideas you put into this about Lucifer and the balance of good evil... I really like the use of these lines...
"I entered nothing
And nothing entered me, it is very effective.. I love the rhyming in this too, it is very well put together.. my favourite lines are...
"I entered nothing
And nothing entered me
I did it voluntary
Darkness for you to see
I am the first creation
The one and only son it's true
I am the Morning Star
And you thought there were two
A boy from the line of David
They called him the son
And the bright Morning Star
But there was ever only one
I came in disguise for you
Do I look Evil at all?
I entered darkness it's true
I am the Angel of the fall"

Congratulations, this was an awsome entry worth placing, and I believe it was a well deserved trophy!!

Even I didn't think about it like this...and I entered that contest. I see why this placed. Satan does help you realize just how good God really is. This write makes you think. I love it! Congrats on getting silver!

Very nice, and lots of luck. This was truly deep, and you did an amazing job with the background as well.

Good and evil, light and dark; it exists, but more by differing perceptions. There's always a question, isn't there? Evil exists in us. Heard the saying, "The Devil made me do it?" Just an easy excuse to avoid taking responsibility for our own actions. I've experienced so much in this life, even beyond our mere five senses, and I know we all have choices to make, freedom to make them, and all that which follows is ours. You see, "God didn't make me do it either." My choices. I've learned above all that love is real, like a tangible entity, powerful, and God is love. My choice is Love.--Great write btw, strong, powerful and deep. Keep writing!--Kel

Very brave and thought provoking. There's probably a few fundamentalists on this sight who'd give you an old fashioned AP lynchin' for writing that but what's said cannot be faulted in my opinion. Without hell there'd be no heaven, no hate without love.etc The universe and nature is balanced by the dynamics of opposites. Excellent piece!

brilliant... so thought provoking.. truly wonderful
kee writig you are very talented
jess -
magnificent!
oh yes, now this is something worth entering, its got such emotion and i have to agree with "ohthetragedy" its unique in its right. i love this "God so loved the world
That he gave you me
Lucifer the winged serpent" we are so used to hearing, God so loved the world he gave us his only son, but in sense, he did give the devil power over us, i also like the way you emphasised the fact that he was put there to eluminate God's light, which in actual fact has truth in it, if there was no devil, people would not run to God's glory. this is a magnificent piece. i loved it. thank you for entering. good luck in the contest. -
This is very unique, i like it
"My blood runs in your veins
I am the tears you're weeping"
Wow, the imagery is great
X Tragedy X -
Light/dark it is all part of the same source I think, maybe we are all little droplets of sweat on God's brow as he battles with his alter ego. Spill ink and twist me into the shape of love...
