Two Faces
A two-faced pacifist,
Preaching peace,
While waging war
In your own premises.
Quoting lines
From Genesis,
Claiming he’s holier than thou —
Hiding the rot
That leaks from his mouth.
Swears he’s ridding the world of evil,
But behind closed doors
He’s wicked, deceitful —
Swaggering proud,
Drenched in arrogance.
Look in his eyes…
You can see the Devil dance.
And when the Devil dances,
Hope turns to ash —
A saint in the daylight,
A serpent in the black.
Your prayers can’t save you;
He’s already inside —
Smiling,
While heaven and hell collide.
And the last thing you hear is your own heartbeat… stopping.
