A poem about the ultimate human condition.

When the devil came out to play,

it was an extremely beautiful day,

I was walking on my own,

completely lost

and all alone.

He offered me some vine,

it was red and it was fine vine,

he did not tell me his name

but he wanted to play a game.

He asked me if I believed

in a god or an entity

I said: “Hell no! why should I

when the world is going to die

because of our stupidity?”

With yellow eyes he sat there looking at me

then he offered me a job

because the world has never seen a god.

I took it and I loved it

for a while, anyway…

but then greed took me over

and I lost my way.

Next time the devil came out to play

it was a dark and rainy day

he was sitting in a chair

drinking tequila from the air.

I asked if I could resign

he said:”If you want my friend

that’s fine…

I just offered you the job

because the world has never seen a god.”
