The Devil Poem by RIC BASTASA

one that knows not how to ask
forgiveness for his transgressions
one that knows not what humility is
one that knows not how to accept failures
and offer the sacrifices to the Lord
one that knows not how to pray
and beg for mercy
one that know not how to rejoice
in everything that comes in one's life
happiness or grief
one that knows not what is the difference
between the temporal and the
eternal
one that does not hope but lives in the
darkness of his anger and hate
one that knows not how to love
to heal and be well again
one that knows not how to help
one that knows how to hurt instead
and take justice in revenge and retaliation
is the devil
