Sympathy for the devil
A phrase we all know
It means to be understanding
Of a man who cant tell
Who cant tell the difference
Between what is good and bad
Who cant desipher the code
And so they live bottled up and sad
It means to take righteous
And stuff it in a box
For its not strong enough,
Barely a bull, or an ox
We need something more
A tank would suffice
A super charged righteous
And even still...on thin ice
It takes a great man
To stand up and say
"Im just as bad as you"
The irony is plain...
How could a man with such talent...
For good...
be brought to lesser
By the very words he brewed
Sadly it is so
That great evil be marked
As the final word in all the world
When it was the good that provided the start
The start to say "sorry"
"I admit i did wrong
It is my fault too"
As they sing that apology song
Then the darkness takes over
The advantage clearly sought
They know of bad charecter,
Except their own-they know not
The devil replies with a smirk
And always strolls on
Steam rolling the righteous
The tank is now gone
My point is just this...
Please apretiate the man
Who can apear before great evil
And say "i will take a stand"
For this he is wise
And couragous as well
He knows he's not perfect
Which is what makes a perfect angel

Be righteous more than anything, u will get steamrolled, trampled, used, and abused, but all that will happen anyway, its better in the end to say "i would have done the same" and with a proud understanding, be set free of emotional obligation for revenge, anger, frustraition, or any other emotion that would harm your mental tranquility, it feels better...i learned this lesson...long ago
