I AM DEATH, BUT I DON'T GET ANY RESPECT!

I AM DEATH, BUT I DON’T GET ANY RESPECT!

A respecter of persons I’m not, do you want a good time, check me out and I’ll show you what’s hot. This one guy hit the Lotto and he was exuberant and feeling fine, he and his friends celebrated with much fine wine, then at the last stroke of the clock at Midnight, I softly whispered in his ear, you fool, tonight you are mine!
I am laying out my net, I have some bigger fish to get, I go freely to all the High Society Parties their own Paradise, I send my special beauties out to entice all those Big Wigs, their assets for me to seize. Sometimes all it takes is a little squeeze, and they get weak in the knees. Then I sneak away and tell their wife’s’ what they have been doing all day, a roll in the hay, by the way?

I laugh myself silly when the Hubbies come home to a cold dinner, and the wife’s hot simmer, the wife’s have much to say and he is denied having his way. You may ask where I live, I once lived in Heaven, got kicked out by God after a huge losing fight, but I won the Prize of being the Prince of the Earth and over all who abide there, they are forced to do only my will and not their own which is my delight! I set up my Throne in that sunny place where the Stars abide, I keep many of them close to my side, their immorality is much fun for me, for I am the Devil you see!

There is only one man I greatly fear, we fought a battle for the Earth, but he knocked me on my ear. I tried to get him to use his Trump Card and to reveal his true self as God, but he wouldn’t give me a yard! Instead he used the Bible like a Rod, saying; Thou shall not tempt the Lord your God, so I gave up, this was too hard, I’m going away and try to woo away his followers on another day. I hate when he puts me to shame taking those right out of my Kingdom, those who believe in his Name. It was on that old wooden cross where I suffered my biggest loss, I guess he showed me who’s the Boss!

Fear not my friends, many of you will want to stay with me, and my time is not yet up, I will continue to weaken the Nations and stir them to War and then my *Hell Gates will be enlarged to take in more.

*Today, Archeologists are digging and reading the Bible, they have found evidence of King David’s Reign, proof of the enemies of Israel like the Amalekites and the Philistines whose giant Goliath David slew with his slingshot. From the Bible, the True Word of God, the Lord Jesus said; I will build my Church, which is my Mystical Body on the Earth and that the Gates of Hell will not prevail against it!

    Well that is a nice way to depict Death has a good guy but
    then at the end of the day/night he claims all...literally all!
    You sure do have a way to write about serious issues in a light
    heart-ed way yet warning people to make the best with the time
    they have left. Excellent!

      Thanks Meena! We all live on borrowed time and we own nothing, all we have is granted from above and given back to Him or others. The Treasures of the Rich and Famous were buried with them in their magnificent Pyramid Tombs and their Treasures lay exposed having not gone to the Supernatural Habitat that only God knows where that is, Heaven or Hell? Always love your comments, I know that they come from a deep thinker and a Talented Poet!

    My dear Ken your sense of humor. The devil sure is busy and if we are not careful we easy become his victim. Money will change some people but it is not everything. The devil sure will take it away. Add to my favorite. All the best to you

      Thanks Dag, as a kid, I, like many other kids and even adults thought of the Devil as one in a red suit and carring a pitch fork, and we laughed at him. The stark reality is that the entity was one of God's High Archangels named Lucifer, he was called the Star of the morning because of his awesome beauty which led to his downfall. The Prophet Isaiah asked the question about him saying; How did you fall? And he also gives the answer; it was pride that caused him to commit the first ever sin in all Eternity by saying; I will exalt MY THRONE ABOVE the Almighty! God being a righteous Judge gave him an appointed time to War against the Lord's Kingdom, when he tempted Adam and Eve to sin, God gave him control over the Earth and all in it. The unrighteous Mankind possess a dark heart that from it comes all that's wrong on the Earth, that is; The Pride of Man, his lusts, his envy, his seeking of Power like Satan. How could anyone doubt these things as we see them daily and growing worse! The Good News is found in the last Chapter of the Book of the Revelation, GOD WINS!
      Glad that you liked it and that God gave you eyes to see, some say; I SEE, but are blind.

    I do enjoy reading your poetry. You have a talent for weaving though a vein of humour where I never expect to see it. This is a delightful look at the frailty of man and the idea of the Devil waiting in the wings to grab the evil doers just when they think they are winning is superb. I also like the way you interweave biblical and historical facts throughout. Humour makes the darkest situation seem bearable. Keep up the good work. All my best wishes Milly x

      Thanks Milly, I did start out writing a "Dark" poem, but I remember you telling me about my humor so I put it in the mix, and adding a happy ending. As a romantic like you I try to always have a happy ending to my poems, if you ever read my poem "The Road" you will see what I mean, I try to be Crafty as I lead the reader in a different vane and then spring a surprise ending. As one famous Actor asked in a Movie; Are you entertained? Glad you like it and thanks for your very professional exam.
