I sold my soul
  for new meter and rhyme

Trading salvation
  for a thing greater still

The joyful embrace
  of one hell damning phrase

Living immortal, perpetual
  —fulfilled

I sold my soul
  as the Devil laughed

Knowing not, my final words
  were for him

Exposing his lie
  and his legions of hate

With my last breath
  —Divinity’s hymn

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)
