Give the devil his due,
for he does not give up.
Each ego ploy is new,
serpentine in approach,
clinging to heart like glue.
Give the devil his due,
to hypnotise our mind.
We see not any clue,
bemused by illusions,
as myriad fears brew.
Give the devil his due,
to spin a fairy tale,
beating us black and blue;
we continue to wail,
lined up at the church pew.
Give the devil his due,
to make us feel confined.
We’re a lion, yet mew,
frightened by mere shadows,
blurring our divine view.
