Chaos

Hello old friend, how have you been? 
I am sure that you remember me 
for I was with you when times were hard 
it was I attacking your sanity. 
Today things seem much better for you 
you have a career and a good looking wife 
but when you thought you had lost me, you were wrong my friend 
because I'll always be a part of your life. 
You see, I give birth to all alcoholics 
it was I who invented suicide 
I am the reason that jails were created 
for I fathered trouble, who is the source of my pride. 
I make criminals think that they can get away 
I convince people that there is no hope 
I teach children that God does not exist 
and then convince them that it's cool to try dope. 
You can run and hide from me if you'd like 
go ahead, I really wont mind 
but remember, where ever it is that you go in this world 
I will never be far behind. 
I am a handy tool of the devils 
and he uses me for all that I am worth 
my job is to cause misery for all of mankind 
and to bring destruction to all of the earth. 
I enter your lives while you are quite young 
once I do, your lives will not be the same 
and until the day you die, I'll be somewhere nearby 
oh, and by the way, Chaos is my name.
