Annetjie

Demon comes with smiles
Very carefully veiled wiles
Prod another to take the fall
A Victim through it all

Demon guise as a mother
Looking for another to smother
A wife a husbands fall foretell
She will see everyone burn in hell

Demon deception of caring 
All the while souls seering
Malicious word of mouth ensue
But the truth you will eschew

Demon conniving and stealing
Envy and greed guaranteeing
Long fingers to secretly grasp
Play innocent your mask

Demon dutchman kind
We know and see your mind
Common trash from the ash
For truth you are no match
