The Demons
The demons that made entry in my head
Were destined to create unwelcome pain
Though courtesy, respect would be well bred
From hospitality I shall abstain
Temptation’s there to sink beneath the waves
Submit to sorrow, sympathize my woes
And follow others sadly to our graves
Create sardonic vision for the crows
But now to you invaders who afflicted
This body, causing life force to be drained
Take notice that I will not be addicted
But take up arms, submission is not deigned
I will confront these guests with hope not vain
‘ til they or I are ultimately slain
