The Vampire Bat, Dragon And Snake Poem by Gert Strydom

The Vampire Bat, Dragon And Snake



(in answer to Robert Nye)

Falling, falling aflame from the heavenly high height
stripped from power, from all his positions, and God's might
scorched black from the defeat of the Great War
where he saw destruction and rebellion as his right

Lucifer, above God tried to take his whimsical flight
but burning, burning falling red-hot and hotter white
came like a bat into hell as a sapphire sparking flame
and the destruction of all humans is his great delight.

He thinks he is godly, a master, a prince by his birthright
but against the omnipotent Lord God his power is slight
while his evil servants do bend to his will, to his majesty,
as the master of disaster and into his heart they have no insight

where he has the ability to change to an angel of the light
or to a unearthly evil creature of the night
that sucks out the souls of mortal men,
who do find his way by other means than just sight

but in anger in the form of a man he clenches his fist tight
decides to bring men with each other to war to bring them to fight,
as the highest demonic being he does bubble up things
that to mortal men does bring great fright,

under his own absorbing sinful spell
are still falling, falling deeper into his own hell
but do remain to God's great Judgment Day
while constantly he and his messengers do lies tell

and in his essence he is the vampire bat, the shivering snake
the Leviathan, the fiery dragon of the sky and of the sea and the lake.
