Was he evil, was he bad
or did he disagree
As payment for your insolence
I do here by banish thee
To hell you go the stories told
if you believe that verse
What followed next the mighty said
I give to you a curse
Forever and a day we spend
telling right from wrong
It’s celebrated every week
in churches with their songs
Who’s to say what happened then
or if there was a day
That a man was cast from heaven
and where he lives today
Questions to be pondered
answers to be sought
All of which you have to find
none that can be bought
A winged man; a monster sort
spreading evil throughout the land
But we don’t need the devil
look to your fellow man

SO WE NEED TO GROW,
IT SEEMS IF WE GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING WE CAN SIMPLY FIND THAT FEAR CAUSED HUMANITY TO FALL.
SO TO GROW WE NEED TO RID OURSELVES OF THE FEAR, DECEIVED BY EVIL CREATED FEAR, FEAR CREATES SEPARATION...
YOU HAVE A EXCELLENT RHYME
WITH A GREAT MESSAGE
LOOK TO YOU FELLOW MAN
UNITY
GOD BLESS MY FRIEND...

Bravo, bravo...
Dandelions are devils
seen by those who worship
the concept of devils.
While men and god fight about truth
nature keeps giving birth to time
with no interest in the argument.

Nice...very dark, and kinda ruthless 'But we don't need the devil/look to your fellow man' How wicked. <3 the picture. This is very well written, wish you luck in the contest!

Hello.
I congratulate you on a fine write. Flows very nicely, very nice rhythm and rhyme, musical at times, like good rhyme should be. Nothing read forced to me either.
There are undertones of sarcasm, as well as almost being perplexed at why humans do not see, bewilderment, etc, etc. An insightful write, and above all else; looking at what really needs to be looked at, man, excellent. I wish you well in the contest.
My regards.
