 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

The Devil Takes His Own!


He skulks around every corner;
Seeing what he can see;
Watching the people walk by,
People like you and like me!

As he watches oh, so patiently,
He smirk's a smirk inside!
Waiting on his next pray;
Waiting for the one who'll slide….

…Slide into the devil's clutches,
For the devil takes his own!
And so he'll prey, every day,
Skulking all alone!

Then he espy's a tempted rapist;
And gleefully he'll wait and hide;
Look on from a distance;
And he pounces when the victim dies!

The devil takes his own!
He's on every corner of every street,
And he takes in his clutches the next evil one;
And takes as many as he'll meet!

Another sucker, another evil one;
Slides into the bowels of hellfire!
He erred to the wrong, his downfall;
And now he lives in the land of mire!

For we reap what we sow in life;
And the devil watches the game;
Checkmate is the only ending;
As he takes another evil one again!

The devil takes his own;
The ones who err to the evil side;
Beware your sins will find you out;
From the devil you can't run, can't hide!!

Beware the path you tread;
Evil is your undoing, your choice!
Make sure you know what you want;
Or be the next claimed; un-dead!!!

For the devil takes his own!

And God waits patiently by;
He takes by the hand all the good!

So if you care about your afterlife;
Then you know you have to do;
And that's err to the side of good!
