[ NaPo 2017 ] The Devil Is In The Details
Can't say I wasn't warned
Mess with the Devil---
you'll get horned
Adding injury to my insult
his head was adorned
with a thorned crown
and If I was smart
I would have backed down
Instead I got in his face
all up in his business---
corporate affairs involving
soul acquisitions
eternal rest homes
such lucrative industries
Said, Satan!
I demand you give me
back my parking space
And while we're on the subject
quit acting like you own
this forsaken place
So now he's got me
at the Ninth Gate of Hell
tending the tollbooth
Didn't really think things through
as if you couldn't already tell
by where I ended up
but its the god's honest truth
