With the devil, a long spoon www.juggernautbnyusuf.

Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar... Mark 12:17

He's dark and evil
He comes with horns
He is scary
He's in hell burning

He's painted to terrify
Dark flaming monster
Infinite powers

Myths of man
Myths to separate him from the true him
Myths to confuse us

The devil is in the details;they say
He is indeed in the details
Every slip
Every desire of personal gratification baring morality

The devil lurks at the corner
Like a lion he roams the dark hoping to devour
In the dark of your mind
Devouring your self with emotions
Overwhelming you with feelings
Lust, greed, avarice, hate

You give to the Caesar his wish
Even if it's not his to have
You taint your purity
For the throes of pleasure

The devil is in the details
Look deep and behind
Be vigilant
Lest you be stuck
Wallowing in a vortex of confusion
Lost in tethers you have fettered
In the depths of the dungeon you dug
While listening to the cooing of the devil
And eating from his plate

Forgetting that

He who desires to feast with the devil requires a long spoon

African proverb
