The Devil's Message


"The Devil's message" By Blossom Monyei I have made money a focal point Ambition is all you'll chase You'll work hard just to live soft I'll weaken your faith, trusting is of no use. Beliefs differ I had divided the world into segments of religions. The truth hidden, a wolf in sheep's clothing. My deception lots will fall for. Pleasure, Ignorance, Wealth, They'd stand in your way of knowing the truth. Is there anyone that won't pay heed to these desires? The world is mine and will stay under my devilish grin. For the saved ones I have no power over. But being in this world they're still in my cage. Beware, the devil's message.
