Bluer Skies

You find your joy in the storms you create, 
the pain you cause and the lives you destroy


This world is no more than your emotional playground,
 The souls of men are your favorite toy 

You play your games which have no rules 
Making puppets of men who serve as your fools

I’ve studied your ways and learned them well 
No angel from heaven you’re a demon from hell 

You’ve had your fun with my lessons learned
Now I’m free from your grasp and the table’s turned 

 I see the truth with much wiser eyes
And since moved on to bluer sky’s
