The Lesson
We on the surface of earth make demigods in the name of love divinity or creed, they are false, fake. They lure us with their fake limited power, be it the power of their beauty, fake pretended airs of divinity or false creeds, we are led astray by them (represented here by Splendor/It. Blindly we worship them in the name of love...earthly love is fake as compared to the spiritual love of God. We blindly worship them for their assumed divinity and false creeds, without realizing what the Almighty has decreed. These demigods and their worshipers, no matter how many they are, are unnoticeable, not even a puff of smoke when compared to the creation of Allah Almighty.

The Lesson

The moon had disappeared far in the desert
debarring its rays through heaths and dales
all living things turned specters and in lists
marched to the shrine of Divine Love in a frenzied state.

A luminous soul took flight and glided over clouds
wrapped all in white. sped with tremendous pace
like a foamy tide that rise in the midst of a stormy ocean,
takes on the howling winds, hissing and swirling
like a hurricane falls and breaks at the feet of top most crags,
it prostrate falls on that Holy place.

A multitude of beasts and men, like a rolling wave
across the glen swept everything and roaring tumbling
all that came in their way, they carried away
and gathered around that mystic Fane where
Splendor resided in all its awe and Divine claim,
Wild with ecstasy around Its throne moved those freaks
They rose and fell, sighed and yelled, cried and shrieked
Such sight made hearts sank with dread and whilst
It alighted from Its fane and walked among the creatures of night
With every step rose dust off the turf making the atmosphere
More horrible in nature than Shelob’s evil gossamer.

Perchance the moon peeped through the cleft in clouds
A host of winged angels in heavenly glory descended
With heavenly light they lit the darkened sphere of sky
And I beheld that devilish fiend’s dead countenance
Bereft of God’s grace, doomed for eternity in dungeons of hell
It roared with fury and let Its anger loose upon its creatures
That have made circles around It and vowed abreast
In evil designs to meet the heavenly foes in earnest.

I witnessed an amazing thing, soon as they bent on doing harm
To those angels who were sent to win the war
A beam of light that dazzled my sight, with searing force
Pierced the hollowed specters, silhouettes and shadows
It burned, contorted, consumed and with a puff dispersed
On the cold night’s heavy air, like the light feathers of
Some miserable foul we let afloat on the airy surge
After a fortnight’s long awaited search for prey.

Such is the fate of humans and Evil who worship demigods
In the name of love, divinity and creed. 'Tis your lesson
And hence off you go, for sun is approaching and to sleep I go.
