 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

geishacountrypoetpoetry759
The devil awaits me


Just out of sight the devil awaits me
beckoning me on to my end
I try to resist but temptation will tease me
with the gifts that I'll get as his friend

…the freedom to live without ever caring
in a land where the strong will survive
the weak and the weakness inherit in all man
banished till all men have died

…no more of mans kindness to confuse and then blind us
survival shall be a battle best won
with guns and explosions and dictators to own us
till all that we know is undone.
