The Devil You Know

I thought I knew you.
So many years running circles
around each other like vines.
I learned to listen to the truth.
People tell you who they are.
We hear what we want in those times.
There is something peering out from your eyes.
A horrible place that's hard to unwind.
We kill our own kind.
We kill our own kind.
Nature makes many
animals that murder.
It is our mind
that makes it crueler.
So there you are.
The Devil I know.
Light up all you meet.
With a synthetic glow.
A cross around your neck.
A cross tattooed above your elbow.
He looks good so he must be.
A fresh piece of hell wearing
heaven's sheet.
I hear you like a lion's rumbling.
Wanting my love so you can destroy me.
There is something peering out from your eyes.
A horrible place that's hard to unwind.
We kill our own kind.
.We kill our own kind.
Nature makes many
animals that murder.
It is our mind
that makes it crueler.
So there you are.
The Devil I know.

Hahahaha! Agreed.

Ok I will give you that designed was a poor choice of words on my part. Nature isn't a kind mother unless killing your young for extra protein in a sparse season is considered kind. We are not alone in the natural world as far as animals that murder their own species. I do agree that the modern era has made us more visceral in general and also not impressed with anything that doesn't immediately gratify. A good relationship isn't like that. It is about building a slow fire that burns for a lifet

Wow. Great perspective. I wouldn't say designed though. Back in the dawn of man people chose their mates on the ideal of survival. So there was hardly a soul chosing a mate based on looks. Men wanted women that would birth many children and women naturally sought strong and or ingenuitive men. We're conditioned to connect vainly in the modern day due to the convenience of technological advancement and media conditioning. Awesome poem.

Jesse.... It suggests that evil is closer than you know. We are designed by a cruel natural world. Sometimes we choose not to see how bad someone is when they are attractive or when you have projections of how someone is vs how they really are. In truth most people that are murdered are murdered by their mates or someone they knew.

Really good! I'm not sure I completely understand but it seems like a poem about your thoughts about a particuliar person or type of person and the correlation with the world as a whole. Reguardless, great work.
