The slickest trick the devil has
Is convince you he does not exist
He smiles and he revels as
He hides the poison on his lips
Pulls you in and holds you close
Plays the trick before your eyes
Slips the deadliest of doses
While all along, wearing a smile
It only takes a moment
For the deed to take affect
Far too late for an atonement
With no chance to resurrect
Any sense of clarity
too late now to start again
His subtle act of barbarity
Was your unforgiving sin
What you mistook for an angel
Was just the devil in disguise
Your will, feeble and fragile
Is the start of your demise

Excellent work, and so true.
Good work. One must be careful out there no matter what we are doing.
