Devil's Villanelle (11 ratings) by G. E. Graven
Never lives a damon god-dog nomad as evil'r even,
As a snake, which bewitched Eve to eat of Evil, condemning Man
To wander the world, that Devil and evil jackal from heaven.
That prideful angel and wicked warlord, whence from heaven driven,
Angered God against Creation, to spawn a flood for forty span.
Never lives a damon god-dog nomad as evil'r even.
Tempter of mortals, that immoral and heretical heathen
Gambled as God against goodly Job: a gentleman better than
To wander the world, that Devil and evil jackal from heaven.
Gadarenes Man with a legion and then Magdalene with seven.
Satan's minions possess the masses; damons damned, within His clan.
Never lives a damon god-dog nomad as evil'r even.
Apostate of Apocalypse, seven heads and ten crowns given,
And Himself did Scripture describe: A Dragon awakened, with plan
To wander the world, that Devil and evil jackal from heaven.
Morningstar shines no more, since fallen in sin amongst our brethren.
That god-like damon drifts as wandering wolf, stalking what it can.
Never lives a damon god-dog nomad as evil'r even,
To wander the world, that Devil and evil jackal from heaven.
