Raw Poetry by Rev. Shakes Spear
Empathy for the Devil
Don’t be afraid of the Devil
He’ll stop fighting once you’ve earned your stripes.
He’s just hazing you – as Devils do – so don’t get mad
This gig’s not bad.
Do you know, he supports three kids and a wife?
Just pass him by with a wave, wink, or a nod,
But for God’s sake, don’t try to kill him.
The poor guy’s just doing his job.

How We Screen for Gods
What’s the proof of Truth?
That’s the burden of the Lie.
A hero can’t be a Hero
Unless and until the Evil Villain dies.
