The demons fight inside him
To commit him to a larger evil
Whilst the world sees his angelic charm
His will subdued
His body bereft of a soul
Its not long before the sin inside
Will peep out and speak to the world
He draws a dagger
And runs over it
Ironically, as the blood drains out
He feels strong and fulfilled
Content- that he purged himself of the evil
He conquered the devil and was liberated
But in truth-
The demons forced one more weak man to die
They indeed committed him to a larger evil.
