It wasn’t in the month of May
that life became a devil thing
and I know that well for here I am
held prisoner by November.

Soon, soon, soon, release will come
and I’ll step into December
but I know from then until today
devils follow angels.

But when behind they’re building strength
to one day overtake and trip
the good and innocent
and how silently they grow and grow
seeking always, wishing for,
acknowledgment and praise.

So sad the tale of those in need
that only through an evil deed
can make their presence known
but never in their life and times
gain an ounce of praise.

So be it then; devils follow angels
working hard, so very hard,
for praise that never comes!

Thanks, yann, but not much chance because, of course, angels always lead by example. Maybe one day devils will grow eyes to 'see' and not just act by instinct.

Devils are evil. Angels are good. Ne'er the twain shall meet.

Too true. And I can't help question the ratio.

Thanks, Jerry. Yes, the two will never walk hand in hand.

Thank you, Michael. I think a look at the world gives us a pretty accurate idea of the ratio.

And, to make matters worse, many times the devils come...

...disguised as angels.

A lovely poem, so well and truly written!
Both good and evil appear before us, and so we can sort one from another, but then we should choose what we dare to like more.
Thank you for sharing!
