A thought on Milton

You know the real Satan,

Standing ‘tween

The orb of unrobed brightness

And the elements turbid chaos,

In matter robed of natural beauty,

In spirit loved by God,

Said to decay, not God, not,

“I am evil”, but

I heard those exact words

In a hate rally-

“I am good, and all opposed to me is evil,” he said,

And so said,

Turned ‘gainst humanity itself
