And
the Devil Laughed
by Barry S. Maltese
The
Devil Laughed so loud and Clear
for
hate replaced all that God held dear
With
War, Famine, and dreams undone
Satin
saw his battle was almost won
As
people anguished and gave up their fight
the
devil's spirits took joyful flight
For
as we gave in and felt hatred, too
Lucifer
relaxed, thinking the war was through
Yet,
still inside one courageous soul
the
feeling of hope remained in control
Reaching
out to those around him in need
moved
the power of Love with amazing speed
The
Love he shared so quickly spread
reviving
the hopes that were one time dead
People
stood together to help, and to give . . .
the
true force of faith would grow and live
The
King of Darkness saw all his plans fail
as
Goodness, and Kindness, did prevail
So,
he decided to retreat, until better staffed
and
as he scampered away . . . the Devil laughed
