Poem
He looks in the mirror He can see his red eyes They are staring back at him He doubts if they are his own Inside of him, the answer pounds It is the devil, no one other than him "Could it be?" He asks. "Could it be?" "My past sins are haunting me?" The devil is inside of him Now it takes its comfort It thinks and then it talks to him Do this, do that, it orders He refuses to obey The demon feels defied "How dare you disobey my orders?" "Do you not see what you have become?" "Am I my own devil?" The man asks muttering words of confusion Is there something inside of him Or has he just gone mad? What you have done Sometime in the past Sins of the most heretic Now they all come to due Screams of denial Wanting to rip through The ribs of and old man Inside the young one He tries to fight But who is there to defeat? Is it truly his sins? Or is it the voice that speaks Of all enemies Long since gone, and all those ahead This was the one No power can budge "Yield to me, or you will face The most horrible of all horrible fates" The demon inside speaks again This devil will never give in He looks in the mirror again Who is it that he sees? The ordinary man down on the street Or the man sentenced to death? This time it is not Evil that he sees in his eyes But instead its the burning flames Of the demon's home called Hell This is his last chance The choice is in his hands there is no one else to fight And no one left to defeat All the enemies Lie within yourself No enemies but the demon within So kill the devil inside of you!
