Michael J. Falotico Poet Rhyme

Goodbye Devil

by Michael J Falotico

                                         The Devil staged the day..
                                    Directed the horror and disarray..
                          He sat safe in his chair as the planes took aim..
                         Thousands died and now a city never the same..
                             Years have past as the smoke has cleared..
                        Still too many men and women have un dried tears..
                     Now the Devil wrapped in a blanket like a broken man..
                    Sits in front of TV watching himself trek across the sand..
                     A quiet day the choppers came and knocked on his door..
                        Now the Devil rots in hell and his terror nevermore..

Poet Destroyer A May 13, 2011 at 5:33 PM Hello, Michael! its better if we turn around and leave it all behind... the d-man and his games sends shivers down my spines... ( like the line ) the d-man wrapped in a blanket like a broken man... yes his time will come..*** this is like a lonely silhouetttttt... facing the truth, lets throw it all away and carry on,, anywhere the wind blows,,, and say goodbye,,, take care,..p.d.

Joe Flach May 9, 2011 at 2:23 PM Great write Michael. I was in the shadow of those towers when they fell - on the Jersey side of the Hudson - and lost a few good friends. Although I could never cheer the death of any man - having the Devil perish was a relief to me. Well done. Joe

James Peranteau May 9, 2011 at 4:21 AM Fantastic muse dear poet ! I had to peek in on this, I had the gut wrenched feeling that it had to deal with that soul who caused so much twinge of hearts. Have a wonderful week Micheal...much love, james

Carolyn Devonshire May 8, 2011 at 10:29 AM The terror bin Laden caused left so much grief in our hearts, Michael. My debate partner was killed in the 9/11 attack and I have been unable to find his family. Surely their tears have not stopped flowing, nor have mine. You described his life and death in a compelling verse, my friend. Love, Carolyn

Dr.Ram Mehta May 8, 2011 at 8:53 AM You have nicely given a vent to the feelings of the people involved, Michael
