If I were Satan, to the hell <br />From godly paradise expelled, <br />I’d wear not my skin of beast <br />I’d wear a mantle of a priest, <br />I’d write abstruse religious books, <br />To get the humans on my hooks, <br />And preach the holy word I’d rather <br />So they would always kill each other, <br />Religion is a tool of war, <br />An endless source of human gore, <br />(Forbidden apple’s fragrant juice <br />By which weak Adam was seduced, <br />He came to differ Good from Evil <br />But got confused his mind primeval) <br />Young soul, cowardly or brave, <br />It makes the doctrine’s blindfold slave, <br />What use of earthquakes and diseases? <br />Their number anyway increases, <br />But bigotry billions can infect, <br />At that, not easy to detect, <br />‘Cause well enwrapped by pious deeds <br />The evil jealously it shields, <br />This humankind would surely perish, <br />Killed by the gods whom they would cherish <br />And they would argue, day and night, <br />Whose god is better, whose god is right, <br />For me, twould be an easy job <br />To rive like this the spinning globe. <br /> <br />If I were Satan………..<br /><br />Ruslan Kerimov<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-i-were-satan/
