A Simple Nightmare Poem by Keith Ricardo Williams

i woke up screaming
looking at a demon
laughing, talking about
you don’t know what just happened
i said what?
she said you won’t like this but
you just sold your soul to the devil
no more ways to the upper level
tears started to fall
what in hell is going on yall! !
then it occured to me
the demon is just tricking me
trying to get me to lose my faith easily
i said i rebuke you in the name of jesus
people please believe this
fire started to rise
the earth began to shake
it felt like the worst imaginable earthquake
the demon seemed to get scared
a flash of lightning like never ever compared
to the wrath of god
i fell to my knees so hard
gave him thanks, and praise
for all my wasted days
the demon she was also amazed
got on her knees right beside me
started praying
saying things i never heard
but these weren’t demonic words
suddenly angels appeared
i thought this would be
what the demon feared
they reached out, and grabbed her hand
took her to the promise land
i was left there all alone to wonder
about the mercy
of the most powerful throne
god bless the child who has his own
the struggle continues
i wipe away the tears with a tissue
laughed, and said satan god dissed you
