The Church Fathers, taking the idea from the Jewish Pharisees
Made devils of the pagan gods, Mithras, Serapis, and others deities
And the Roman Catholic Church, in its blindness
Denounced former worships as commerce with the powers of darkness
Up till then, magic in all ancient times
Had been considered as divine science,
As wisdom, and the knowledge of God
To bring healing, and to be used for good
Ignorance was enthroned as the mother of devotion
And the people end up being ruled through emotion
Learning was denounced, and philosophers pursued
The sciences in peril of their lives, if sued
The votaries of the ancient worship and priestcraft
Were persecuted and put to death on charges of witchcraft.
For the Church, there was no distinction
Between witchcraft, heresy and opposition
Of all the various learned nations of antiquity
None was ever guilty of such a crowning absurdity
Not even the ancient Jews, believed in hell for evil
Or an eternal damnation any more than a Devil
There is no great enemy of God
Arraigned in battle against the good
There is only suffering, erring humanity,
Struggling to bring normality
The forces of evil are, in the last analysis,
The entrenched ancient ideals and practices
Of thought which have served their purpose in evolution
In bringing the race to its present point of manifestation
But which must now disappear or retired
If the New Age is to be ushered in as desired
The old forms of religion, politics and social order
Must give place to newer ideals in the new world order.
When will man, the victim of his desires and evil
Triumph over the world, the flesh and the devil?
It is brought about when the man in incarnation
Is one with his soul and knows no more separation
