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 Juggernaut Bn Yusuf |
