Dr Faustus

Dr Faustus signed a pact
Not realising the fact
That great magical aspirations
Are only mental formations

To the devil he gave his soul
Who did not fulfill his role 
And laughed in his lair
While Faustus was in despair

He disintegrated mentally
by leaving god completely
He wished for his own destruction
To once again gain salvation

To God at last he raised his hands
To ask for grace and forgiveness

This poem Was inspired by the play 'Dr. Faustus' by Christopher Marlowe
