Even when Michael disputed with the accuser
of the brethren---also known as the abuser
of Truth; and toward God the great refuser
(reminds me of brass trumpets of a graceless loser)---
Michael did not give into mere insult,
but merely addressed the interferer's fault,
with this: The Lord rebuke you, which must be,
for Christians, the final reply, allusively
referring to the infernal penalty
that the accuser as well as each deputy
of his shall face, the punitive destiny
of isolation in untold, searing agony
in Lake Fire, for ceaseless eternity.
