[ 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
