The Devil's Friends by JL Denman 2009

The Devil's Friends

Come in packs
devour in hordes
sabotage en mass.

The Devil's friends rip and tear
scream and howl
beat and pulverize

The Devil's friends ain't no friends of mine
ain't no friends of yours
ain't no friends at all

The Devil's friends:
Depression -rides on black wings of Hopelessness
Envy- strides on the stones of cobbled Insecurity
Violence- wars from the back of elephantine Greed
Isolation- prances on the cold headstones of Rejection and Fear
Lasciviousness- sidles forth on silken sheets of Inadequacy

The Devil's Friends
ain't no friends at all

How can you not see God?
Why so blind?
Why so hidden behind disbelief and wicked signs?
See the tree proud and sturdy
See the leaves so green
See the warbler and the thrust
See living, breathing, fluttering beings?
See the goose her child beside
See the swan, such grace
See swimming, gliding, flying things?
How can you not, oh not see God?
