The Devil Speaks Softly
The devil speaks softly while we sleep,
We think we are dreaming, and we weep.
We awaken to whispers of humor and smile,
Promises of fortune and all the while.
He waits in shadows for a chance to attack,
We stand aside and turn our back.
He dashes around us and prances in glee
Thinking he is a horseman and then we flee.

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
