L'evangile d'Azazel

I’m falling,
I don’t know why.
Did I speak too soon?
Did I lie?

I used to be his favourite,
Of that I’m sure.
Did I rub him the wrong way?
Did I make him sore?

When it started,
I thought he was God.
Did I not obey?
Did I sway?

He said “Think for yourself”
“Use your brain.”
Did I not do the same?
Did I cause him pain?

All I wanted,
Was to reach the top.
Did I ask for a lot?
Did he know what I sought?

“Trounce me and you will die”
“My will thou shall not defy.”
Did he think I would cry?
Did he think I was just another guy?

The war began,
I ran.
Did he think it to be cowardly of me?
Did he think I didn’t try?

He should have killed me,
When he had the chance
Did he not foresee my plan?
Did he presume I would dance?

Now I stand on the dirt,
Can’t help but feel a sense of mirth.
My time will come,
My Will be done.

Love the idea. Well-executed. Specially liked the way it's tongue-in-cheek, entertaining and intelligent in equal measure!

Do want to confirm something about the title though. In person!
