In defence of God

To weave the fabric of the universe
Father and son toiled,
A spinneret of galaxies carefully embroiled.

A beautifully balanced symmetry
Of purposeful design,
To nurture the gift of life bestowed upon mankind.

The celestial angels shout in praise,
Standing in ovation
Joyfully singing and welcoming creation.

But in this glorious assembly
In amongst the choir
An angel hummed the lyrics of his own desire.

His libretto played to a different tone,
A tone of jealousy
Craving voices to sing his words of treachery.

Adam and Eve were settled in Eden
When Satan came along
Slyly he enticed them to chant his bitter song.

Insurrection caused their imperfection
Choosing to go off key.
Now the whole creation is out of harmony.

Jesus cared for all of Adam’s children
And came down to the earth
Played to them sweet overtones of hope, love and worth.

Some esteemed his works and composition
But others shut the door
When they heard the tenet of his kingdom overture.

His disciples learned to play his music
And sang his melody
Teaching others to sing along in sympathy.

Satan loathed the tone of their loyalty
Trying to make them yaw
Killing our Lord Jesus so he could change the score.

Droning a masterpiece of misery
Crashing cymbals of despair
Intoning that the guilt is only Gods to bare.

The world has spun for two millenniums
And would forever more
Revolve around a dirge of suffering, death and war.

Jesus was granted heavenly splendour
Now sits at God’s right hand
Waiting for the moment when he can take the stand.

Organizing and preparing his orchestra
To bring back harmony
Removing every vestige of Satan’s symphony.

The baton is ready for God’s command
For he will choose the day
Listen can you hear it, it’s not that far away.
