Poetic-Verses
'' They're Now Living The Life Of Riley ''
God and Satan have agreed to meet,
They're trying to agree a location,
The good lord says he can't stand the heat,
The devil doesn't want a vacation.
What about purgatory that place in between,
Where the lost souls lie in wait,
Both agree that it is quite serene,
All we need now is to set a date.
Satan tells God I'll leave that to you,
As you have more time on your hands,
My place is busy with the evil they spew,
As they refuse to obey your commands.
God says that's cynical there are more good than bad,
That's why my place is bigger than yours,
Whereas in Hell they're all bloody mad,
For your lot there are no cures.
Both then agree it'll be Christmas day,
In the interests of finding a solution,
Even Satan admits to terrible dismay,
We both need a new constitution.
For the evil on Earth we need to be bold,
Forgiveness is no longer the answer,
Barbarity among humans has increased ten-fold,
They have become an incurable cancer.
With the evil in Hell I can no longer cope,
I thought there's no one in here worse than me,
Now for my future as leader there is no hope,
As allies we could set ourselves free.
God agrees he has problems as well,
There are those who would drive me out,
Heaven is becoming a bit like your Hell,
My commandments no longer hold clout.
Humans are a nightmare their brutality has grown,
Our ways they no longer respect,
As for their evil they refuse to atone,
Our existence they continue to dissect.
They reached the conclusion their time was done,
Over humans they had no controls,
They were in a battle that could not be won,
Both concurred they should save their own souls.
On that historic day both of them agreed,
This is where our hostility ends,
From our responsibilities we are now freed,
God and Satan are now best of friends.
They now live in exile in a far away place,
Both agreed they have played it wily,
After saying Au Revoir to the Human Race,
