The Devil

The Devil

By

Anthony Labson

Hiding behind angelic eyes

and using a serpent’s tongue.

He shows off his chiseled abs

hiding his stone cold heart.

Women fall on top of him

the minute he smiles at them.

They think they met the one

but soon find it’s the last.

Men admire him for his success

but that’s like admiring a king

after he committed genocide

and denied the culture a moment

in history.

Money is always in his pocket

but he always talks his way into

making you spend your own.

He always finds a way to leave

with something free.

Life is nothing but a game

and he believes he owns it.

Hopefully he’ll learn someday

that even players get played.

I highly doubt it.

When you’re the devil

you’re use to the fire

and cold is in your nature.
