In conversation with El Diablo.
The guy with the horns from below
came up to see me and said hello,
he said you seem a little sad,
perhaps I can show you a little bad,
I said I wasn't interested in temptation,
I'm still working on my redemption.
He smiled wryly and said he could offer me more,
I do better deals than your local discount store,
let me show you what I can offer
then surely you will no longer suffer.
I am blue, not green I know you want my soul
tormented in your fiery abode, as you turn me into charcoal.
But surely that guy upstairs knows what you desire,
he only wants songs of praise from his heavenly choir,
I can satiate all of your secret fantasy's with a wave of my hand,
and you will be a King of an empire in somewhereland.
What you offer Beelzebub, only inflates the ego,
what I aspire to, is something you wouldn't know.
Please entertain me with your proclivity and I'll see what I can do,
in exchange for your soul, I'll guarantee your earthly time will no longer be blue.
Can you free me from the guilt of causing pain to those that I love,
can you take away the remorse I have for those that I've been neglectful of,Ā
can you show me how to be a better father and husband.
can you teach me how to listen better so I don't misunderstand.
I can see the confusion and despair in your eyes Mephistopheles,
there are many more human frailties that you cannot appease,
what you offer only serves arrogance, contempt and conceitĀ
go back to your own screaming purgatory you miserable deadbeat,
I don't want the things money can buy I want the things you can feel,
I want love, self respect, compassion, dignity, patience and humility, all that is truly real.

Hello Chris...
Tell me how good it felt to punch him?
Those final words are definitely a powerful punch...
Love, self respect, compassion, dignity, patience, and humility...
Words he hopes we forgot about because they're not heard often...
Words like that make him angry because it makes him sick...
The words he loves to hear he'll stick to the others...
Great write!
Thank you for sharing...
Hugs...
