YES, I AM A DEVIL
UNDER THE ROBE OF A WISE SAINT
Oh! A single
mistake by an inexcusable imprudence,
Pushes you to a
sorrowful gorge deep,deadly and dense!
It unkindly slaps
you on the cheeks of your sleeping sense,
Alas! It knocks you
down on the uneasy humiliation lanes!
Oh! A little
lapse of time by unforgivable carelessness,
Gives you ever no
chance to recuperate and redress!
It insufferably raps
you against your irrecoverable pace,
Alas! It skittles
you out from the invaluable Life’s Race!
Oh! A slight laxity
in concentration by unpardonable negligence,
Indescribably deprives
you of others’ sweet trust and credence!
It rewards you
with an agonizing Charge of rash over-confidence,
Alas! It leaves for
you no room for indispensable convalescence!
O God! Let me not
deliver only the hollow and spell-binding Sermons,
While I bring up
in the hell of my mind innumerable unseen demons,
While I feed on
the happiness and smiles of the countless innocent,
Alas! While I foster
devilish propensities under the robe of a wise Saint!
