How To Sharpen Your HornsA Poem by BenyoucefIn this crazy world we live in, we lost the devil in the crowd of criminals that we areThe Devil on
his giant throne of hate Got out of
his familiar joyful state So close the
demon standing to his right Could feel
the sadness in his master’s sight ”What
possibly may bother you my lord ? , Since we have
checked off every task on board, And all those
mortals bowed to what we said And took the
lead to guide the new misled, How can you
not enjoy such a delight ?, For all the ages
that we raised this fight “ “ It’s
far beyond this “, big Satan replied: ”I’m now a
rookie on this business side, Those horns
on top are nothing but a tale That makes
the children wet their beds and pale, A line, a
period, that was all I wrote, and now the
best that I can do is quote, I’ve bled the
inkwell dry and dropped the pen along with
those mortals you condescend, The world I
flipped to make their fall a rise they flipped
it twice just to enjoy it’s size Hell is my
destiny and it will just suffice But it’s too
much for me to live it twice, I’ll never
wear these paper horns again, I’ll wait for
mine to grow like other men”. As for my
horns that wrote you down this carper, there is no
pencil on me that is sharper… © 2012 Benyoucef |
