Faustian Bargain

The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. ~ William Shakespeare

 

Pact made in blood and darkness

Selling of the soul of mindless fools

Has trapped the souls of the righteous in hell

 

The deal has closed

Damnation has blanketed the globe

Eternal price about to be paid in full

Wow! what a dark themed poem! It's so hopeless, but please believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel! Even if your words illuminate a flower, it is enough, and it does!

We are living in dark, bleak times. I fear we have used up our quota for hope. I fear that the light at the end of the tunnel is the train heading straight for us. Thank you for reading and sharing.

I'm a Christian, but I'll never understand those who praise God one moment and then an obvious phony like trump the next. Indeed, they seem like the subject of this poem. When making deals with the devil, there's always a price to pay.

I’m a believer and I wonder the same thing. Thank you, my friend, for reading and sharing.

ouch. that's why my mother taught me never to answer the door to salesmen with briefcases although a lot of folks will need fans and air conditioners where they are going. a sad state of affairs for sure, disturbingly told.

Pete, thank you for reading and sharing. Sad how it came to this, and I don’t see light at the end of this tunnel and, given how it unfolds, if there is light, it will be the express train.
