We never have to take the blame <br />Not even just a whit <br />Will always find the gall to claim <br />The Devil made us do it <br /> <br />We steal and maul and even kill <br />And offer as excuses <br />'A demon worked its' Devil's will <br />It's Satan who abuses' <br /> <br />Devilish things we often do <br />Cause good people to cower <br />We misplace blame, and misconstrue <br />'It's the Devils' fault, not ours' <br /> <br />This can't go on. It just must stop <br />We're not under Satans' spell <br />With dependence on our Devils' prop <br />We'll be heading straight for Hell<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-devil-made-us-do-it/
