God's Gonna Cut You Down, Version 2

Michael-- the commander of Heaven's armies, the prince of holy light--was the most powerful of God's angels. He was also charged with maintaining God's lawn.

The lawn, fashioned by Satan in a controversial subcontracting arrangement, quickly became known as the infernal grasses. Michael hated that grass. It grew in all manner of wicked ways. It was nothing more than a hateful weed that choked all happiness and serenity out of Heaven. It smothered angels and tripped up the righteous souls of the newly dead.

Michael eventually gave up. "From now on, it will be God's job to cut you down."
