Should we not be praying
To the devil?
It's not unreasonable!
It's his/ entity, influence, in the world
That's causing such hellish things.

Should we
Not be appealing,
Entreating
Him
To
Consider His heart?
And,
Put a stop
To
The incessant evil and destruction
Of humankind?

In
The core
Of
his
Iniquity
IS there
A glimmer of good
Which
One
Could
Nurture,
With
The help of prayer,
Making that morsel
Of
Goodness grow?

Come on mankind
Get
Down on your
knees
And
Pray,
In unison,
For
The
Devil!

You
Are not being bad
On
The contrary, you are
Making efforts to save him
And so too
Save Mankind.

Jesus says to forgive your enemies.
The devil is
Our arch enemy.
The source
Of
All
Problems.

Let us persuade him
To give up his infernal rage.
Let him
Feel true love and concern.
He
Perhaps
Will
Yield and understand.

OR,

Is this a completely impossible
Unobtainable fantasy!
He, being too far gone
And
Beyond absolution?

The scene
Was not romantic at all,
It was quite the opposite.
I
Was there
In a war torn country
Amidst the calamity and pain...
Quite
Unexpectedly,
While taking photographs
A native girl came into view
SHE
Was beautiful!

SHE,
Was shielding
CHILDREN
From the chaos
Around!
Immediately,
I
Went to her aid:
We
Got
The CHILDREN
Aboard the U.N. trucks
Which
Drove them
To safety.
SHE
Stayed behind to help,
I,
Introduced myself...
SHE,
Said
Her name was...
"LYLICA"

SHE...
Hastened to help the wounded,
It
Was
Then
WE
Parted company.
I kissed her on the cheek
And
In her distress, she smiled at me.
We said " Goodbye"
I took my camera
To the other side,
The media
Wanted two points of view.
Will I
Ever
See her again? Went through my head
And,
Her name, her name..."LYLICA"

It's six months now
I'm back home.
The war situation is resolved.
I'm
In my apartment
After a story seeking day
I've got Lylica's photo in my hand.
I reach for the phone,
I book a flight.
I'm smiling,
I'll be there by midnight!

Do we live
Just to be a memory?
Like
A living thing once was
But
Now
A fossil?

You say listen!
Listen, I do.
I
Hear NO words of wisdom,
I'm hearing
NOTHING
NEW!

...before you press the button, ignite the bomb
END IT ALL!
PLEASE consider
What it has taken
For us to get where WE are...
A lot of Blood, Sweat and Tears,
Discordant, Revolutionary years!

Is this what you want- your work down the drain?
Is this what you want- to annihilate the human race?

THINK!
About the CHILDREN, their FAITH in the older age.
I said, THINK about the CHILDREN, their TRUST in the older age.
They are relying on YOU
To show them the RIGHT things to do.

Is this what you want- to destroy them all?
Is this what you want- to END the WORLD?... Well, IS IT!?

Before you press the button, ignite the bomb, end it ALL
PLEASE consider---the REST of MANKIND!

Precious!

Preserve and value it!

And after all these years,
She finally found the love she's been searching for...

She found it within herself
