The Devil by my side
In him, my deepest desires I confide
“Everything will be just fine
I only need your sign”
And so I signed away my soul
To reach my one and only goal
I wanted money, power and admiration
“Okay, first we need to make you a politician
You will spread hate, fear and lies
Anyone different than the norm, you will despise”
I did just that and soon I had
Thousands of followers that believed every word I said
We destroyed everything around us
Including those that protested and made a fuss
The Devil left once I got all I wanted
The next time I saw him was on my deathbed
“Well done human
You were a successful one
Now it’s time for you to come down with me
And in Hell you will see
Everyone who blindly followed you
And believed your words to be true
You found me so many permanent residents
And as a thank you I have made arrangements”
