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
