Sober Slap- A Letter from the Devil!

Sober Slap- A Letter from the Devil!

A Poem by Abhishek Singh
"

This Halloween a devil reads a letter of complaint of his own!

"

                                       A Sober Slap

 

Hey there! Yes Mankind!! It’s me the ‘Devil’ talking

I am usually scary; surprisingly, today I sound like I am mocking

Standing here reading a letter of complaint with a lower head and higher hand

One out of innumerable complaints which stood tall just as a flag over the house of sand

 

Here I quote.”

Last Night I went to the house where my favorite client resides

A face which would be called Angelic by your people. Beautiful!

 But as generic as it may sound I hate the beauty so existential

Hence made my way right into the center of her brain

 

Toddling through the tangled veins and the blood pumping through them

I made my way, landed into a room; a pitch dark room

The darkness did scare the s**t out of me;

I mean ‘I’ got scared!

 

Tried to search for the slightest of light, couldn’t find any though

I moved swiftly and guess what she was standing at a distance holding a shiny element in her right hand

While moving closer I figured out what that shiny element was

She was holding a blade wanting to slit!

 

Respite of the clearly evident dilemma; she had placed it right on top of her wrist

The pale face was utterly gloomy, no more it encapsulated the same beauty

With colossal spread over the face, she seemed scarier

 Now she’s right in front of me!

 

I rushed out, I don’t know why. I had to

Laying in the same old fashion the eyes were still digging a hole on the ceiling

The timid depression took over astonishingly; I stood there daunted by my defeat

The difference although is that I speak the truth and he thrives on lies.

 

I went closer; she could hardly sense me for the very first time

Putting my hand over her head I wrapped myself round her neck

This role switch did look hugely absurd as well but it just happened at spur of the moment

That’s when I had to become her human because you humans had forgotten about it!


With Love,

Devil!"
