The Devil's Speech

When the night gets cold
Laying in the doorway
And you have had nothing to eat
Crying and wondering how you got there
You wish you could leave
In a moments flash
It all comes back
Ask yourself, 'Why has God deserted me?”
It's hard to say it
But Gods, not the one who put you there
But it's probably me

When the bombs take out your loved ones and home
Then the hunger, the disease takes over
You found yourself in a camp
Sharing a tent, packed in like sheep
You lost everything
Then you ask
“Why as God deserted me?”
It is sad to say, it is not him but me
Yes, properly me

'A solitary voice cries out in the night
As he abused and hurt for fun
Teased and bullied at school
Then home to be used, as his mother cashes in
I hate to say it
It is not God doing this
But you write poetry to forget
That Gods left you to die
Oh it is not him after all
But it's probably me

You're the easiest person and helpful too
Your Ex-wife won’t let you see your child
And you are bullied online
Saying you will never be anything
Just fail and die
Some would say
That Gods laughing at you
But as funny as it is
It is me that makes you cut your skin
Makes you want to leap to your death
It's me that lets the voices in
And Gods not deserted you
You see if you take off my mask
You will properly see
It is
Yes it is
Always me
