Said the Devil

Said the devil,
Don't worry with that God side
too many rules. 
Don't do this,
don't do that.
You can't eat this,
you can't eat that,
Steal and you go to jail.
Cheaters well you're definitely in trouble.
Whoo-hou
you're going  into the hell fiya.
Well look here,
don't worry about all that stuff.
Down here,
we have bars with the hottest drinks you can think of.
I mean booze so plentiful you'll be walking on fire.
Tanning salons, oh-wee  real hot,
you can fry yourself down here, get all sorts of color.
Brothels to feast your eyes and choose.
I mean what more can you ask for?
Just come join me.
any regrets well fix you up with something even hotter.

It is a really wonderful poem, yeah the way of God is always difficult as compared to the way of Devil, God rightly said that this world is a hell for believers and paradise for unbelievers, but always remember, if we remember God, He will not only help us in this world, but even the heavens are book for us, just have patience for God says that the help is surely on the way,

Given the moral condition of the world, I'd say not even the fear or belief in a Hell has had any moralistic effect on the people described in your poem. Thank you for stopping by. Best to you in your writing endeavors. / M
