The Little Devil

2/7/2011

0 Comments

 
A deal with the Devil never turn out well
    How many the fool who learned this on their way to hell

Not here referring to a written contact for the soul
   Instead what is given up to pursue an ignoble goal

Worse when attained by ignoble means
   As harmless and innocuous as these actions may seem

This is the Devil, those base pursuits
   Money, power, and isolation and those who follow suit 

The Devil is the selfish beast in all people with a price
    A level they will sacrifice what they know is wrong vs right

There is a price to be taken, naught doth come free
    If you sell your soul, wherefore will happiness be?

    I love poetry.

    It can be whimsical or epic, unbearably long or just two memorable lines, mature and dark or light and childish.
