I’ve been told
the devil is a bad man
but . .
he’s never lied to me
neither has he
promised me things
c r u c i f i e d m e
nor cast me out
of his garden
h e ’ s s h o w n m e t h i n g s taught me how to survive
how to stay alive
he never once tried
to drown me
set my ass on fire
nor murder my first born
he never once punished me
for calling out his name
nor did he ever asked me
to worship him
or got mad when I didn’t
I’ve been told
the devil is a bad man
but he never commanded me
to sacrifice my only son
not one illness
nor disease
I can say
he inflicted upon me
he never visited upon me
pestilence nor famine
j u s t t o p r o v e a p o i n t
I can’t remember
a single war or genocide
started
or committed in his name
he never
got all jealous and petty
and vindictive
e x h i b i t i n g . .
sociopathic tendencies
running rampant
with murderous intent
nor did he ever
take away my wealth
my health
f u c k e d m y l i f e u p
asked me to do f u c k e d up s h i t
just to test my loyalty
all he ever showed me
were possibilities
and If I didn’t agree
it was all good
there was no retribution
The devil
never asked me fuh
s h i t . !
he never asked me to praise him
build s h i t in his honour
not one church
temple
pyramid
nor synagogue
it is said
he was the first temptation
and so began all our woes
b u t t h e t r u t h i s . .
all he asked da woman
was
i f s h e w a s h u n g r y . ?
The devil never judged me
nor asked me to repent
no torture
no penitence
no punishment
He never made me a slave
nor his b i t c h
no one was ever lynched
In the name of the devil
but it is said
