Why Should I Forgive the Devil
Most of my life I have given no thought
In forgiving the devil, he has broken
My will to fight, leaving me extremely distraught,
In a constricting snare I was caught,
The way out still remains unspoken;
The never-ending life long snare,
I am detained, unlawfully bound,
The origin of this snare is a mystery I swear,
I can’t get out so I lay here in despair,
This is the Devil’s hunting ground;
I am constantly fighting the darkness,
So that I might find a way out,
I am stuck and must deal with the harshness,
I know the shadows are not harmless,
But I will be free; there is no doubt;
As time goes by I realized,
In order to regain my level,
To stop the pain of being penalized,
And stop being bound and hypnotized,
I must speak up and forgive the devil.
