CHAPTER 5: THE OVERNIGHT DEVIL

Looking into the entire world of ours,
It is funny how things can take a turn.
Many live their life against all odds,
But some loose faith in the middle of it.

The irony of our fate I must truly say
Lies in the content of our various minds.
When you see yourself as someone’s bait,
Everyone else will piss in your find.

A man’s poison is another’s meat.
This is a criterion for doing bad we all know.
The people that hate every breath you take
Rejoices so much in your sorrow and pain.

The quest to become an overnight devil,
Makes people many unspeakables.
Joining the crowd to perpetuate evil
Brings about a judgment that is irrevocable.

Live and let other live.
Every one should live by this simple rule.
Even when the desire to do that evil comes,
Shrug it off and let all live as one.
