The Devil's tool,
A puppet, schooled
An adversary, unruled,
A character, uncool.
The Devil's friend,
As soul descends,
And pride ascends,
A path, unbends.
The Devil's brother,
A liar, discovered,
A thief, unfettered,
A saint of sinners.
The Devil's champion,
A painted chameleon
Society's assassin,
One of life's parasitisms.
Nature or nurture?
Who can really tell?
But left unchanged,
He stumbles into Hell.
