Devil

Waya encounters a horned beast.

I felt a wicked vibe when the machine came to a screeching halt

The engine idled as I tried to see through the tinted windows

Then the door opened and smoked wafted out, reeking of death

I didn't move when I saw a hoof touch the dark terrain

Rising out of the metal monster was a horned man with a pale hue

He had long black hair pulled back in a ponytail 

His eyes were piercing, black pools with flecks of red

I looked up, unafraid, and asked, Do you know where I am?

With a robust laugh he replies, Yes, you're in my world

As far as the eye can see, this is my kingdom

Keeping eye contact I said, I just want to find my way home

But I don't know how I got here and, he interrupts

Get in the car and I'll take you wherever you want to go

No thanks, I said, I'll keep walking, besides I'm going this way

Pointing in the opposite direction he was going

I remembered what Jesus said whenever I sensed danger

A wise ending.

Good to find the good path and leave the Devil behind. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.
