Lucifer Poem by Zachary Zuccaro

Behold the Angel of Light
the greatest of them all.

The prince of the stars and the sun
towers over the archangels
second only to God himself.

Granted incomprehensible power
yet his jealousy rages -
he wants to rule all creatures,
to be king of all the world.

Cast from heaven the angel falls
into a world of despair and gloom
sulphur and fire surround his throne.

Yet the dragon continueshis game
his quest for power has not come to an end;
he wanders the Earth
searching for prey.

Blinding rays beam from his garments
his smile covers the entire Earth
he offers gifts of wealth and power
as he sits upon his throne.

Watch the multitudes accept his gifts
as they unsuspectingly rush to their doom.
