The Devil's Lasso

The Devil's Lasso

A Poem by Dylan S.

In any second of your life,
does your neck feel heavy?
Does it feel like something
is pulling you down?

It's the misery and pain
you have in your life
weaved by devious little demons
from the pits of the Sloth.

They prey on lives like this,
dragging it down
and hanging it up
for others to see.

They think us sport.
Are you game?
Are you prey to such things?
They think this as a game.

Do not be game.
We are stronger than that.
The human mind is capable of all.
It is why we are.

Rise that head of yours,
scream at those little demons,
tell them to leave,
and the flood will boil away.

A true clear message, expressed here with a rope around your neck figuratively, to make life harder (literally) and all imaginary luggage on your back makes it hard to bear.
