Demons

Hell's demons are everywhere

If I could only convince you to see

Drinking gin and tonic with style

Sipping haughtily on lemon and tea

 

Their distorted evil frightening faces

Are masked from human sight

As they pass you with indifference

Grinning and nodding

Moving left to right

 

However

Without warning

As their vicious appetites call

Growing hungry for souls

In the silence of the night

They gobble up foolish sinners they encounter

That disappear forever from sight

 

So the next time you have the desire to dine in the evening

Take a  moment or a second or two

Remember faces are not all they seem

A demon may be sipping a martini,

While smiling and sitting right next to you
