The Devil obsolete

By pl rage

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Once I was known as Lucifer No longer am I the bringer of light Disguised as human I walk the streets No one sees me for what I am Too well I play my part So easy to fit in – just stay apart I plant small seeds of hate and sorrow Filling the minds of those I pass Later they will take root and bear fruit Leaving chaos in my wake Such a common sight Nobody suspects all isn’t right The rules have changed My touch hardly necessary The world isn’t the same No longer full of happy thoughts Half the minds boil of hate The rest drowns in sorrow Is it all my doing? Can I take credit for what’s happening? Are the humans to blame? Are they doing this to themselves? Have they taken my place? Am I obsolete?
