Great poem, Douglas, thanks for sharing. however, I don't see us as "children of the fall" nor the Christian Devil, Satan, Lucifer, Al' Shayton, Iblis, et. as discrete entities that are the cause of evil and lies and capable of "stealing souls". Evil exists because it must or good could not. Good and evil are in every man's heart and the wise choose good. Rather than everyone being children of the fall, God gives us the option of being Children of the Light and the free will to reject that Grace.

May God be with us all.
