The devil said:
"To the sinners and the saints
I welcome you all the same
Now illustrate for me, if you would be so kind
The frame of mind and heart alike.

That thing that makes you fight your brother,
Then claim to love one another,
That mysterious thing I cannot witness,
No matter how my perspective is shifted,

My god, how you are twisted,
To be able to act such ways and not even realize it,
While buried knee-deep in your own spit,
Your oblivious nature make me resistant,

So I shall torture you,
From up on my throne,
Wishing to be one of thou,
Instead of the demon you see,
But I will carry on because of the infallibility of my home,

I am the epitome of envy, lust, gluttony, pride, greed and wrath,
Only six of the seven sins, The seventh captured perfectly by God,
As you witness from his noticeable absence from your world since the beginning,
So enjoy my company, as it's all you'll have for all of eternity."

I like it but some things were stated so bluntly when, from what I like in poems (the only perspective I can speak from), should have been hinted at. I think that is what separates art from high art. Not that normal art is low, but that is just what its was called. Still like it, the end most of all, anything anti-religious like that always tickles my fancy. Of course, this is the devil speaking, so maybe that isn't your intent, but that's how I'm interpreting it.
