Demon Scared off by Ancestors

demons lurk in shadows dark
hidden and furiously silent
their presence oozing at clairvoyants
soothsayer pauses in her reading to listen
juggling the genuineness and the risk of mistake
was this message from angels or demons?
she calls upon her ancestors for clarity
the message stops while the demons laugh
intimidated by her parentage, they disappear
