Devils Roam These Halls

A poem about Devils that exist in our very own lives.

Devils roam these halls,
I see them every day,
Tearing, Destroying the weak
Feeding on their prey

Devils roam these halls
ones ripping up a friend
trying to bring him through
a slow and steady end.

Devils roam these halls
trying to look like beauties
when deep inside their hearts
they're hiding dark and sacred duties.

Devils roam these halls,
They are everywhere I see,
but the ones I especially spot,
are the ones in you and me.

Interesting, I like the repeated use of "Devils roam these halls." Very structured and consistent. I always find it interesting when words are capitalized or not in areas that are uncommon for either. such as with "Destroying" and then the words that aren't capitalized at the beginning of the last three stanzas except "They". Good way to express a common message. The flow isn't the best but it's not bad. There are some things in the word arrangement that obstructs the rhythm but I can't pinpoint them. Nonetheless, good poem.

Wow, this makes you stop and take a long hard look at yourself. This ending isn't what I expected. Great job on writing this one.
