Comfort of the Fiend
Demons are painted with a brush
damning all in hurry’s rush
when decisions to extricate
are based on tropes of wide mandate
the residence of an imp
may be welcomed as consequence
when the space that’s shared
feels like a home and not a jail
kindredness comes with joint time
good and bad are thus combined
when contrasted with the world
the shades of gray are colorful
the good demon is family
a brusque removal is calamity
embrace the comfort of the fiend
don’t ask the world to intervene.
