A Little Devil

about the nature of Man

They say that you should never show sympathy for a devil....
I know, that they are probably right,
But I also know that
there is a little devil
in every man
and woman,
On Earth.

That's wonderful saying we loose our innocence long time back ... like centuries before.. ah during caveman?..
The little devil peeks out and gives us devilish smile, maybe it's selfishness or our own of living...
Hope we all don't let out that devil freely... great write and metaphor... :)

Who would dare to speak of such a thing? And why?? Well, if it be said or so, then know that better half, for without darkness we know not the richness of light or life. "Sympathy for the devil", I say...a wonderous wonderful in pound!!
