It was a cool summer night, and things were feeling right, and i stood with melting shadows hanging from my feet. <br />So I squared one away with the music on play, when I spotted two children, playing in the street <br />I said 'It's getting late and I know the sky is great but perhaps you should sight the stars in your dreams, <br />you see cuz as you grow old the world gets cold, and nothing is how it seems.' <br />They were either dumb or didn't care 'cuz they only returned a stare, except one of them blinked just twice <br />I said, 'Alright now kids, this is how it is, now I am through being nice. <br />No one will remember what you said, in the end, dead is dead, ' and thats when their stares turned to ice <br />They ran home crying, but i'm not lying, when i say my consience haunted like an art <br />But you know what they say: at the end of the day, the devil's just a man with a broken heart<br /><br />Calpernicus Jansen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-devil-and-cal-jansen/
