Sympathy For The Devil

I would say

Please to 
meet 
You

But from an
Early Age
You already 
knew my
Name

So Lets skip
the Formalities 

For Centuries
Now
There has been
a misconseption
As to how
I Work

When the song
came out
That said
I went down
to Georgia
looking
for a
soul
to Steal

I found that rather
Humorous

I am not in this 
to take one soul
As
When I take..............

I plunder
a whole 
generation

Thanks
to me
Society
believes
they are
entitled

the young
folks
and the elders
who taught
them
Believe
It is all
about
them

College Kids Protest In the Streets
about issues 
that none of them really experienced
but they were told
to scream Racist
While the Blue collar White folk
burn their Nikes
enraged of the disrespect
over the National Anthem

All the while 
I have managed
to have them
forget
the one 
element
that would
be the redeemer
of their soul
and 
that is 
compassion

You see
while 
they
are busy
causing
division
in their
soceity
over trivial 
things

Countless Children
in Sudan
are left to starve

Six Year Olds In Congo
are placed
in the Rebel Militia
to kill
and are robbed
of their Innocence 

Sex Slaves
Are forced
to do unspeakable
acts 
while they 
Travel the Caravan
To the US Borders

Compassion
is ignored
Vanity
is My Veil
You have 
worn so well

So Yes I have 
been very 
pleased
to meet
You 
As you are just
a Chess
piece
in
My Game..........................
