Who Will Ever Know? Poem by Gert Strydom

What calamity brought
evil Lucifer and his wicked host
through galaxies without number,
with countless stars and planets
to this earth, to where we are?

Was it just mere chance
to stumble on the place where man lived,
or didn’t they have any other place to go
to escape Michael and his holy host?

Or was it part of destiny, or eternal law,
in the ordinance of God without flaw
to sacrifice His own to save man
or was chance, will or law or none
responsible for this? Who will ever know…
