After Adam and Eve were asked to leave
what was to be mankind’s ancestral home,
to guarantee these refugees would grieve
and not wander back, but forever roam,
God gave to a dedicated minion --
one unrelenting, imposing and fierce --
authority and total dominion
of the border even our sight can’t pierce.
But who’s this “angel with a flaming sword.”
who was permanently placed at the gate
to guard the garden of the Holy Lord,
Sentry of Eden, Sealer of Our Fate?
Although the Bible doesn’t really tell,
I’d wager that his name’s Industriel.
