I am the Devil

I am the Devil

I speak when no one wants to listen

I whisper AND I shout

I point out the cost of selling your soul

Faustus like

I am Lucifer

I am the bringer of light

That no one wants to see

In the dark you can dream

And hide and scheme

Human like

God’s favourite

Bound to failure

My fall preceded Eve

But I won’t yield

My bond is my word

Prometheus like

Yes! I am the Devil

For such I am called

A calling shunned by most

Eternally liverish, eaten away by guilt

You will never see my like again

My like
