The devil came to me one day, and said
“sing for me”
I sang because I love to sing.
The devil heard my voice, and in it the
promise that God made to me
And the devil made a promise of his own.
The same promise he has given for time
out of time.
Riches, and fame, and all those things
which strike some ill-begotten note in us.
These things which seem to call to us.
“Just this once.”
“It will do no harm.”
But what the devil was promising was
to destroy God’s promise.
