The Demon

Call out that demon by name 
It’s how to put him to shame
All this time he had us shunned 
His lies have everyone stunned 
Stop being pawns in his game 
There is nothing there to gain
Can’t believe he’s been maimed 
He's not as tough as he claimed 
Just purge him with tons of sage
Then put him in that locked cage
He can’t be allowed any free rein
In case he causes even more pain
Now as his power begins to fade 
He will lie on the bed he made
Divide and conquer will soon end
Unity is close, just round the bend
Soon as this hostility starts to wane
make way for peace, that’s the aim
Address what was done and said
to leave another broken and sad
Yet another scary demon to face
to stand a chance to win this race 
getting to know each other again 
Universal love might start to reign
