The Devil

a poem by Roger B Rueda

It's green with envy, its life a confusion,
a denunciation –
it doesn’t want others to be jubilant.
All it wants is misery of others,
its dream devastation,
its mind disloyal to its god, its creator.
It smiles like an angel,
its words dignified,
its swarthy heart
filthy & faithless.
It takes in everyone.
It doesn’t want to see the truth –
All it wants is its lies had faith in
to be real, to be unspoiled.
Its pride brims over,
its horns so sharp & pointed.
It is ready to ram anyone
against it, bitter & cross.
It tells of untruths –
its flesh is redeemed,
free from pain, and its soul
put on the rack, every piece
of it will be squashed & turned
to piranhas looking ravenously
hungry in the conflagration of vermilion water.

hahahahaha
