Poem
Devils deadly dime The sign said no grown-up at the playground. Tripping on a penny, like a mime! My hand is in my pocket with the dime I found. Its all mine, I asked for the devils hand that time. Echoes in my head, bounded by a screaming sound. Paying for a forgotten crime, on what comes around goes around. A prison with greed that carries an evil musical chime. Jumping off the merry-go-round! Encouraged by the devil, the pleasure of his deadly nursery rhyme. Now the world is measured by my blood level. The devils delight feasted on my youth before I hit my prime. Bashing my mind, with thoughts implanted by evil. Entering the day with no beauty to my sublime. Begging him to remove this anvil! He laughed while he cursed me with a favor for a favor. A fallout so violently in this world not civil. One can only lust on the taste that only he can savor. Hanging out by the swings wounding me with prey, on two victims to his delicious flavor. I climb my way to teach a lesson in hate not love. Two siblings who always scream for each other. Giggling as I offered each a push and a shove. Stopping they give each other a big hug. Defeating and proving love is a stronger disease The devil wicked eyes looking at me like a bug. Clawing at my inner guts with remorse that he will win this war. Until another day one skips the penny, and begs a poor fool like the devil for his dime. Tossing heads for his tail when times hits rock bottom. I will stray away from his deadly reaction time. He will not own my soul so freak'em, and his greedy deadly beg of a dime. by;pd
