If God And Lucifer Were Still Friends Poem by Tebogo Angela Poen

If God and Lucifer were still friends
The bible wouldn’t exist
The entire earth would still be the Garden of Eden
Adam and Eve wouldn’t have eaten the forbidden fruit
Probably man and snake would still be best friends
We’d all be naked and seeing nothing wrong with that
Marriage was gonna be sacred
Adultery would have been foreign
If God and Lucifer were still friends

If God and Lucifer were still friends
Religion wouldn’t exist
There wouldn’t be any need for the books of law to be written
For none of us would have departed from the roots
Probably culture wouldn’t exist too
Since it is seen as the instrument the devil uses to lead us astray
The tower of Babel was never gonna be built
We probably would be speaking in tongues
If God and Lucifer we still friends

If God and Lucifer were still friends
Government wouldn’t be necessary
Kings and servants wouldn’t be needed either
Oppressors/masters and slaves wouldn’t exist
Colonialism wouldn’t have happened
Xenophobia wouldn’t also be a known word
Tax wouldn’t really be paid
Because there wouldn’t be beggars
Poverty we wouldn’t have known
For our source and provider of everything would have been God alone
If only God and Lucifer were still friends

Hang on…
So vele vele if they were still friends
My father would have married his first lover
Even though it wasn’t gonna be my mother?
For there wouldn’t be any force of sorrow,
Only love we would know
There wouldn’t be media and sci fi movies
For darkness (opposing force) wouldn’t be known
So I wouldn’t have lied to Hloks
Wouldn’t have been scared of boys in the first place
Wouldn’t have done the bad things I did
Mistakes I wouldn’t have known
Hate would be foreign
Jealous wouldn’t be found even on the internet
Would there be internet though?
Hip hop wouldn’t exist cause there’s too much swearing
Wait… but what would swearing even be? Not offensive I guess
I ask myself what life would have been
If God and Lucifer were still friends
I wonder if this question also does cross their minds

So I guess if God and Lucifer were still friends I wouldn’t be writing this
So forget I said anything
God and Lucifer are not friends
So let’s get back to life
