and behold I am alive for ever and ever!”

The pride of:
Marquis d’ Belphegor
((Arch Devil) (In Poetic Prose))
By Dennis L. Siluk, Dr. H.c.
By Andean Scholar, and Poet Laureate
Marquis d’ Belphegor
∞
The Arch Demon, Belphegor
The old demon, Marquis d’ Belphegor, placed his
yellowish-green shriveled fingers upon his lip—
An oscillating lip, and with a quarter-malicious
grin, “Hush!” he said, adding:
“There might be humans in the way—silence!”
The Devil Commandant had then looked over the
rooms!
“You never trod on a Christian, lest by and by
you’ll be bound.
“You put your foot on them as if you were stepping
on velvet.
“But contrary is it for a Muslim, save you spoil
them, of course this is your call!
“Do remember, Islam is already lit in fires from
their Qur’an, to do vile, as each human superior commands, or changes his will
within the Qur’an.
“Thus, prepare yourselves.
“I will not be here to instruct you often, so take
your training seriously.”
But there was one young demon not paying attention,
by the name of Sama de Diablo, and hence, the Marquis d‘ Belphegor, with a
stretched-out arm, of twenty feet,
started to bat him down in the most shabby manner—
“You squander my time,” said the Commandant, who
now perched himself like a giant Mosquito—in an instant metamorphoses—on the
side of the library wall, as:
Giant Mosquito
The young Sama, simply strutted and swelled like a
turkey-cock to and fro, humming and singing in gay tunes, throughout the bibliotheca…
His hands in his pockets, on the red flush carpet
his feet danced in twirls;
Stopping now and then to arrange his hair, looking
into the glass windows to see his reflection—
The commandant and his three other students
watching him all the time.
Said Belphegor to his students: “ We lose souls
to…” and couldn’t speak of His name, and continuing added: “because of pride
and consequence, “even if it is a demonic trait, we must learn to control it,
bar we end up, not “bearing fruit!
“And the Commander and Chief, Satan (also called Lucifer and the “Dragon),
wouldn’t like that.”
Therefore, teasing the young joker, Sama, now
half-mad and ashamed.
. . .
Demon Ringing the Bell
All Tartarus is ruled by a hierarchy,
bound in dread and fear, if not in pride and indifference, all live among one
another in a frightened manner, who knows at any moment, Satan the Great
Dragon, could and did and would, like to make his spontaneous visits to his
great dons!
For nobody above the face of Tartarus, and all of Hell’s
chambers, and the dungeons therein, can say a demon has freedom: I should think
not indeed!
“Where is young Sama?” inquired Satan, upon an
impulsive appearance.
“All I can say,” replied Belphegor, “is he went as
he came.
“And that is all about it.”
“Why so?” exclaimed Lucifer.
As the commandant fumed and fretted, then
furthermore, Lucifer abruptly said, in a languisher voice:
“What makes you so imprudent, so prideful in front
of me, when you are no more than a pest under my heel, and to a certain degree,
a pain in the “open neck?...”
For Lucifer’s pride was above all, touchy.
(There was a long moment of silence)
Lucifer did enjoy a good laugh over it, watching
the commandant as one would look at a crab, or a boiled lobster ready to hang
himself.
And the Commandant, then and there swallowed his
superiority, his arrogance, his overconfidence; and likewise was shamed, like
Sama.
. . .
Lucifer,
Commander and Chief of Tartarus
Now Lucifer
self-satisfied with admiration by the side of himself, not out of
disappointment, for he was a cat, a pacing dragon, as he was known—
But it was as if this all conferred a favor on
authority, and his show of dominance to the students, that not even Belphegor,
Arch Demon, a Marquis and henchman of his legions: stick his noise into the air
when he was there, as if he wished to touch the clouds.
And he wanted to show, and he did show, in his
uneasy manner, and by and by it would be remembered by the students, his behavioral
instruction that nothing escapes Satan! Nothing, nobody!
. . .
Agaliarept, Satan’s
Henchman
Lo! What did the students learn this day?
Much, that like the cat stalks a sparrow, Satan
stalks his henchmen, his students, his teachers, he even adores watching them
squirm; chilled to the bone over his greatness, his presence.
That the show of power and resistance with
Belphegor was tantalizing, if not a conviction, Satan was nobody’s friend,
confident, or cohort.
That as a leader, Satan goes off script, or can be
a loose cannon, pacing and wanting to devour for the sake of boredom.
That he sees and hears from the periphery more than
from the center.
That Lucifer can read a well-developed thought, and
he knows mankind’s problems, and that even in Hell, and its full and complete underworld
stratas, devils as well as humanity—cling to belong to someone.
And this is given through love, with care, with
time, listening to others, playing the game, giving them what they need, and if
that doesn’t work, like the Romans, through fear—
He used this as one uses tools, as a machinist
might twist and drill and shape and polish his main piece, and places it
accordingly, to fit into whatever, whenever, for whomever …
And it was so, here Lucifer, gave to the students
his gratefulness; for he forgave his Marquis of his insolence, and read from
the Qur’an, saying:
“These three things I had selected for Muhammad
personally, and my “henchman, Agaliarept who assisted me in the charade of
Gabriel the Arch Angel in writing the other books within, to insert and never
forget, to call “me Iblis, which is the same as Allah; to call Christians,
Nazarenes not “followers of Jesus Christ, and that these were Divine Words I
told Him…;
“The last and most serious, and most literal, Jesus
Christ is not the Son of “God, emphatically that it is to be considered
blasphemous to the Muslim, “that Christ is no more than an apostle, only a man!
“You students will find it in Sura 43:59 of the
Qur’an, feed this to everyone “who’ll listen!
“Read the Bible, the Qur’an, know verse for
verse…like the Jehovah “Witness and the Mormons: be ready for attack!
“Do not slack beck or spasm!
“This is the Unpardonable sin! Tell them!”
And all the students shirked at his voice, for he
hated the Messiah who had cast him out of heaven, to which he fell for nine
days, airborne, headfirst to earth!
One student spoke up, had a question:
“Wasn’t there innumerable eyewitnesses, both Jesus’
friends and enemies, saw him die on the cross?”
The Chief Devil took his final glace at this young student:
“In Islam, there is no compensation for sin,
neither is there in Tartarus, “remember that.
“And a sin against me will never perish, spoil or
fade, keep this in mind “also, my little lamb students—
“God would have forgiven you, but I won’t!”

Notes 1: Regrettable, Islam has terrified the
world with its religious beliefs. The American School System in California
recently was closed because of misunderstandings in its written language, and
Muslims being very sensitive, might overreact with bombs. And Paris, being
hurled into chaos because of Islam with a stream of killings on Allah’s name
also in Egypt, Syria, Iraq, the list is worldwide; in the name of Muhammad, or
Allah, or the Koran. Islam has a billion followers, as do the Catholics, but
who is being persuaded? Although the
ISIS, doesn’t take sides, they do have their preference. Islam, founded 610
A.D., from what was the consequence of supernatural revelations received by
Muhammad, whom was a peasant, turning himself into a prophet king, marrying a
ten-year old who grew up to be his fancy. From whom was this new prophet given authority? The God of Heaven, or God of Hell? Surely the
God of Heaven would not agree with what Muhammad wrote about Jesus Christ. Nor
did Pope Benedict XIV, when he literately Sealed Islam as an evil empire, and
dangerous religion to the point, Muslims
wanted to kill him, and publicly called for his death; if anything, proving his
point, that Islam is at war with God Almighty, thus having a jihad, defending
whom? Satan, who else? God doesn’t need
assistance. He is the only Pope that has spoken up—everyone else too fearful,
or feeling it would cause more harm than good. Yet Benedict XVI told the bear
truth of Islam, an obvious irreligious faith. Worldwide, terrorist from Islamic
countries have crept into the Western World to baptize them in the spirit of
Islam, who loves sin and not the sinners, whereas Christ loved the sinner, and
not sin; there is a difference here.
This poem of sorts was not meant to be a mock on Islam, simply a poetic
prose story that incorporated Islam. For
also it incorporates the Christian Cults of Mormonism, and the Jehovah
Witnesses.
Note 2: In Sura 2:100, the Koran teaches “And
for whatever verse We abrogate or cast into oblivion, We bring a better or the
like of it; “here we see one verse can be changed for another. Thus, how can
one know God’s will? Christians know because Jesus Christ taught, and his words
are unchangeable. One need not be skeptical, as in Islam, See John 6:47. We
also see in Islam, that God is not a God of love! Why this is misunderstood, is
a deep question, perhaps a transcendence of Satan himself into the words of the
Qur’an, and its pulp-paper.
Note: This writing was spontaneous, it
occurred to me this day, and was finished in a day.
