Demons by Seth Parnell

i never believed
in demons or monsters
lurking under my bed
but lately i've started to

wonder

if evil hasn't in fact
infiltrated this world
slithering streets and
sidewalks, wearing

what

ever disguise suits its
immediate purpose
when a choirboy
is molested, is it by

the devil

in a priest costume?
or does satan play
a more clever game
to get what he

wants

to win the contest
accomplish his goals
might the prince of hatred
mask himself as love?
