Iblis hear this
Like the repulsive reptile, the crocodile,
Noxious, repugnant and nauseating, eating rotten meat.
That dirty belly, like a snake, drags about the dirt.
Excrement accumulates about your skirt.
You look like a vapid salamander when you rise to your feet.
For the scales, nails and that obtrusive tail,
Are the worst parts accumulated from all the beasts,
Right down to the futile snail.
Cast from fire, we’re better by far.
Clay is from minerals and fire--black ugly tar.
King of the jinn accepting all sin,
On judgment day, that'll be your end.
No longer needed, when goodness begins.
Your end.
