The Devil's Work

The Devil's Work

Time stops for none but he,
they whisper in hushed tones,
cowering before the god I be.

They sidle past in silence, barely
daring to breath, their heads bent low,
cowering before the god I be.

"He holds counsel with Mephistopheles,
ushering demons to reign in the sun,
for time stops for none but he."

I hear them stutter and stammer timidly,
scorched by the radiance of fear,
cowering before the god they see.

But I am no deity,
simply swaddled in a cloak of lies
that time stops for none but me,
you fools covering before the god I be.
