You are Despicable

Samer Amin

 

 

 

You are despicable no matter how hard you try to discourage us from continuing our way.

 

 

 

You are despicable no matter you never get tired of using your timeworn ancient deceptive ways.

 

 

 

You are despicable since your deceptive ways always fall short of originality and flair.

 

 

 

You are despicable because you never get tired of using your ancient magnet for attracting the ones who go astray.

 

 

 

Your polar opposites of false hopes and irrational despair.

 

 

 

You are despicable no matter how much you fuel our false hopes with our wishful thinking,

 

 

 

and irrigate our despair with our irrational fears.

 

 

 

You are despicable no matter how hard you cowardly cover your traps with the seductive lure of our emotional hunger,

 

 

 

and the steep cliffs with our unworldly dreams.

 

 

 

You are despicable because of your intricate unending deceptive roads,

 

 

 

which always lead to the same starting point or towards your deeply cherished nowhere.

 

 

 

You are despicable because you never cover your ugly face in proper manner,

 

 

 

and always leave a trace of your residual repugnant scent floating in the air.

 

 

 

You are despicable because of your contrived pseudoscience and your knowledgeable fake.

 

 

 

Your frivolous contrived knowledge about your countless trivial worldly matters,

 

 

 

and the blanket ignorance of the true purpose and meaning of our lives here.

    A thought - I suspect the devil will be some sort of beautiful being, to attract us, to deceive us, etc.
    A beautiful serpent who hissed and 'spoke' in the Garden of Eden?
    If having forked tail and ugliness, etc, we would tend to run away from him and his lies, deceits, etc.

      Thank you very much for bringing this important issue to the table of discussion.
      Indeed, this is exactly what I thought of Satan and his very charming nature and his ways of tempting and alluring humans of course, but in fact, the ones who paint these pictures seem to be completely unaware of these important facts, and it seems as if they are trying to project a lot of anthropomorphic characteristics on this charming creature.

      Meanwhile - Phew, I thought you were writing about me for a moment! (heehee).

        God forbid! I can not imagine you except as a singing angel who is praising the Lord in the seventh heaven.
