    Lucifer Switches Sides

    Lucifer's just joined hands with God,

    He cringes at the acts of the mortals,

    Envious of violence ventured in God's name,

    He's just switched sides,

    Men die as man fights man,

    Men are killed to build or mar for God,

    Like they consolidated bases with blood of men,

    They propagate their whims over dead bodies,

    Man was made to resemble God,

    What if God resembled man?

    If this is lyrical macbre, you've just hit the nail on the head! I cringe at the thought of the God "joined hands" with Lucifer. There is no allusion to Him being ugly (myth). Satan is an angel of light, which is why his stategies are always effective to deceive. He does have an audience with Him, but has limits as to what measure to meddle man's voliton. If man is corrupt, it's a choice (as I carefully choose words). Unfortunately, we don't often decide to make it best of possible worlds in thought or deed. btw; you're no amateur! Excellent capture of diametrical opposition
