Peace with the Devil
Tried to make peace with the Devil...
Left me smoking on the floor.
His chuckle left me all disheveled
As he sauntered out the door.
The contract, signed and duplicated
Left me no real peace of mind.
The lawyers say it's complicated;
They'll get back to me sometime.
A fine print clause embedded
Intimates there's something more;
The peace I made is shredded;
I'll hear the flames around me roar.
The politicians have no chance,
Experienced though they be.
The devils celebrate and dance;
The Devil will collect his fee.
Peace at any price.... Where did I hear that?
