Devil's Decay

Devil's Decay

A Poem by RJ
"

Any real rockstar knows it's more fun to misbehave. On that note the Devil doesn't seem like such a bad guy, haha.

"

Maybe I’ve a calling

A calling to be fallen

It might not be from heaven

But I’m falling from grace

And everything is nonsense

A morbid lack of conscience

I don’t think that I'll ever

Wipe the dirt from my face

 

See I remember rolling

Like a ship across the ocean

When I played the devil’s roulette

put a spike in my vein

Now the world is full of fire

And I guess I might admire

All the stoners and the junkies

Who muddle through the decay

 

I tend the gamble when I lose alot

 

So now I’m sick of trying

I just can’t handle all the lying

That’s required from society

When it’s horribly fake

I guess I’m happy where it’s greasy

Accept the nice and easy

Try and own your demons

It’s the un-American way

 

I tend the gamble when I lose alot

...... deep and harsh feelings surrounded me as I read this.. very vivid, the imagery- great, clear. Another wonderful write from you. I love the repetition of the line "I tend to gamble when I lose a lot" . v ery meaningful. A harsh reality here, facing the world huh?... very thought provoking..
