The Devil At His Work Poem by Roshana Phillips

The Devil At His Work

Rating: 4.4


Ha look at you
Your friends are all amuse
And you sit there;
About your life still confuse
Come on
Aren't you apart of this world
Don't worry about God
It's clearly seen
That he ain't helping you
Through these never ending odds.

Go lie with him
You'll always win
Why wait till marriage
Are you that convince?
Do what it is that most of the wealthy girl does
To obtain
All the riches that they have
Even if at you
It will make people laugh
Come on
Aren't you apart of this world?

Abort it
You know having a baby
A baby will slow you up
Why carry that baggage
Now guys will only treat you like garbage.

Ha look at you
You know you hate her
Take a drink then beat her.
Stifle her voice
You know that's the best choice
When all is done, run
They can never hold you with there man made gun
Come on
Aren't you apart of this world
Don't worry about God
It's clearly seen
That's he's not helping you through these never ending odds.

Now look how I Satan have them all
I will be there
At their grand fall
To collect the foolish
In my addition schooling.

That's he's not helping you through these never ending odds. Jehovah ain't helping. A line thoughtful. We often think, 'Does Lord exists'? But courageously written. Quite positive attitude.

Sadly the devils work is never done, and sometimes​ we do it for him. Excellent poem.

A different thought. A struggle between good and evil. We are here to choose our lifestyle. But don't falter, each step must be stern and courageous without any fear.

I love the second to last stanza on this one - very powerful indeed. I like how you don't sugarcoat these strong emotions or hold back on your thoughts. I can almost picture the anger flowing out of you as you write!
