"lucifer", (Figment Image)
Had occasion one day to realize,
Running to my own excess of riot.
Really I was Lucifer in guise,
The cause of my own life being up tight.
A figment of my imagination,
Discovered him by the side of life’s road,
My true self having taken vacation,
Left figment crying, heavy with his load.
Son of morning keeping carnal afloat,
Said, “that I forever had been buying,
without so much as trying, sin’s blank note,
upon figment I had been relying.”
Seems the truth of heart above was flying,
Figment image of what mind was buying!
