There was a time in his life that one named Mephistopheles loved god.
When the world is full of blessings and love,
For god gives affection and love to all the dear children living in this world.
That god was a man,
therefore Mephistopheles was able to feel for such being.
It was a simple and gentle affection. Not only for himself, but to all children he would say.
For god must have loved everyone equally,
But god also knew Mephistopheles personally.
He said,
"I shall bestow you a name and you shall remember them. For a name is important,
It is a blessing for the children to be named by their parents. Even when you admit to have none.
A name contains prayers,
wishes,
And most of all, a guide when you feel doubtful upon your path.
A name for you; something akin to ambition, personality, wishes,
Behold the radiance of your name,
Mephistopheles."
And he worships that god.
Isn't that beautiful? To be granted a gift that keeps on giving? Given the kindest love that keeps one faithful?
Of course god was betrayed in the end. Only then you shall know that god is true.
Just like in the history book, god would leave the children,
But it was only momentary;
For he promised his return,
And those who followed him was granted eternal life.
Mephistopheles loved that god. He was a friend,
Nothing good ever comes from Mephistopheles,
So he took what he could even from the greatest of all men.
Like a leech and a parasite;
And if one would give such affection to all children, he would take every single one of them.
And for time is nigh,
The one named Mephistopheles came to end this life of his.
He was eternal is he not?
He would meet god when he died. Of course, of course,
He had faith after all.
A crooked and broken faith,
For god is a man.
And Mephistopheles loved that god.
