Being around humans as much as I am, I have been able to remember more than the average demon Though there are other demons that spend a lot of time with humans, They do not stick around one person long enough To really gain anything significant for themselves They will scare them; create delusion and dissention in their lives, Perhaps even take their life if they gain enough power from fear and pain, But they will never just listen to them…absorbingly observe them, as I do… In fact, they take nothing they do seriously A demon would never take the time to understand Why the little girl enjoys dancing ballet with her friends, Or why the painter or craftsman takes so much time on his intricate designs Demons may find them humorous at times, But they will never fully appreciate a human’s humor Or their poetry of lament, of which from their heart pours forth their very purpose The genius—the distinct style of their personalities, is nothing to the demon We are just so caught up in ourselves That even thinking of anything beyond our intentions is absurd We are scared, is all that it really is We are scared, and never satisfied….
