Skyping With Satan

Me: Since Samhain I have been chatting with Satan on Skype..On this date he celebrates his fall from grace.. Satan: Thank you Ken..You look marvelous today..What is your routine? You haven't aged in years...Is it diet and gym, the ladies and your erotic poetry? Me: You are way too kind..(blushing) Satan: Really, I enjoy your sense of eroticism, you have a fondness for the ladies I see..You should read "Justine" by my friend the Marquis de Sade..In order to know virtue, we must first acquaint ourselves with vice... Me: Are you saying it is only through pain one can arrive at pleasure? Satan: I'm saying you are unhappy because you desire things that cannot be..That's what desire IS, the need for what we cannot have..It's called greed... Me: I have nothing to fear here.. Satan: Well Ken, there's always the truth..Maybe peace is acquired by the currency of loss..You are in love with perception..I have many friends here in hell with me you may have heard of, Anton Lavey, Aleister Crowley, Adolf Hitler among others..You should meet them.. Me: No thank you, I prefer to "Fear and Tremble" like Kierkegaard..I was taught your greatest truth was convincing the world there was only only one of you.. Satan: You know God loves you.. Me: Is that why you take interest? Satan: You seek a measure of comfort from Women..Don't you know that love is the laziest theory for the meaning of life? Me: But was not Faust saved in the end by the love of a woman? Satan: I will not elaborate on your misconceptions.. Me: I'm just an ordinary human being with flesh, blood and bones..Nothing hard to decipher.. I wish for women and have needs.. Satan: They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions..Charming saying really..I say it is paved with intriguing questions... Me: It is late, I have to go Mr. Satan...What time is it? Satan: How much time do you need? Me: No thanks..lol I have to go.... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

A talk w/ SAtan!!! ..it happens to most of us sometimes... that there's a strong force convincing us to do what is not right... glad that God gave us the strength and will power to defeat Satan's foolish mind... Very well written poem, Ken!!! I enjoyed it 'til the last verse... kudos!! ^__^

Interesting conversation you have penned. Satan is liar and a thief who comes but to kill,steal, and destroy. Aren't you glad that he didn't trick you into doing anything that you would regret. Thanks for sharing with us. Your presence at my work was encouraging.. Sara
