The Wager

A friendly wager between the two A shake of hands and it was through God and the Devil struck a deal How many souls could they steal subjects of a sinister bet Humans as the main event Our fate a twisted competition boredom replaced by a bad decision Who would win the most souls And bragging rights and gold medals A different kind of entertainment To keep them busy for a minute This madness trumps all rational Where right and wrong they can not tell Like waking up from a demented dream A nightmare played on a movie screen Would God betray us and sell us out Just for lack of something else to do Maybe Such madness is not so far fetched To put a price tag on all our heads But this is just a silly thought A harmless notion That I dwell on Out of boredom and lack of sleep But what a scary thought indeed A deal with the devil and god agrees?
