Lamentation of the Devil

rebellion_in_sanity

**CAUTION - SATIRE AHEAD**

Met davil on the way home 
Sitting on sidewalk in dusty torn clothes 

 

Sat by his side
Two lost souls searching for reasons
In their inconsolable minds

 

Fading Sun lit up their faces
Vengeance of dying killed their dignity 
Highlighting pitiful looks for all to see

 

Softly said Devil 
"I lost to God;
Vengeance of all merciful 
So many lives HIS wrath did cost.
Feel impotent in my forgiveness,
Tried so hard and failed so many times 
Couldn't rob so many people of their lives"
Chipped in I  
"HE made me chase peace and dignity,
Mirages were they, lost my mind"

 

Devilish grin spread on his tired face
"Behold my brother, the mercy of GOD
In defeat, He made us winners
In the game of loss"

    There is always a bright side. A fun story, always felt sorry for the devil. He drew the short straw and had to take all the blame. He sounded like a fun guy too, the kind you would like to go to the bar with and hang out with. A most fun read.
