The Devil's Tree

the base soaked with pee
the devils tree

the stream traveled down 
to the roots 
in the ground 

hands turning black 
this haunting is whack 

lightning struck 
what the  

swerving off the road
the fear growed 

in the past 
lives didnt last

hung from the tree 
now filled with pee

the devils tree

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
