Gary Fields Poet Personification

The Devil Is Good

Some people say
That he is just no good
He is alway's creeping
Around the neighbor hood
          -----
Some people say
That he is sleek
And some people say
That he is slack
           ------
But, as the reaper of Soul's
He is out of wack
            -----
Most think that he
Is misunderstood
Yet, he commit's evil
Like no-body should
            -----
Some people say that
He has got flavor
Yet, he has never done
A decent day's labor
             ---
He is always' out all night
He never sleeps' in.
Instead he hang's around
          The Den
            -------
He is always' in the graveyard
Looking for Minions'
Looking for slaves'
Who make bad decisions'
And has no opinion's
             -----
I don't care what
People might say
Buy, he will see you
Come judgement day
             -----
Putting it mildly

               GF
