All Demons Live on Earth

Poem

The people will lie when they speak of me

They’ll tell you that I was strong

They’ll declare that Heaven gained an angel

But they know where I belong

Sometimes I think that my father knows it

My mother says that I’m sick

I feign my ethics and curse each soul

My smile was my best trick

He came as a fire 17 years ago

In the womb, he made home in my mind

He gave me the apple and drank its blood

He knew that I was blind

I’ve prayed a thousand times for release

But the devil is far too clever

Sometimes I think that he’s captured my hand

That he’ll reign over me forever

I curse his name and fall to my knees

I crave the healing of God

To mend my mind with his mighty hand

To guide me with his rod

The devil is real, and he’s wicked and wild

He has haunted me since birth

Hell is empty, so he lurks on ground

All demons live on Earth
