Devil's Disciple

in the final analysis where the sun meets the horizon behind the mountains looming and saguaro with their wisdom the breeze kicks up the dust making an eerie funnel and the roaring in your ears sounds like you're in a tunnel you didn't keep a list with columns for right or wrong you didn't weigh the options or think about it too long you didn't think your sack would ever be this full and you drag it all around another devil's disciple you didn't apologize for the person you became to those you left behind all pawns in a bigger game with hope in your left hand and freedom in your right you're rushing towards your future on the darkest of all nights I gave you all I could it never counted for much words I offered to encourage that didn't become your crutch the hanging judge bangs his gavel and sends you out this day with a candle for forgiveness but no match to light your way
