Dealing From the Bottom
written by: Steve Green
@Word_Massager
I met the anti Christ
in a dream state
or maybe
twas just a premonition
So hard to tell these days
Anyway…
the devil in my head
inquired if I wanted
to play for his team
since I have quite
the impressive sin resume
(his words, not mine)
I take no pride in my debauchery
but I won’t run from it either
Anyway…
Terms of the infernal contract
were laid out on a cluttered table
My eternal soul
for a case of beer
Back and forth we negotiate
(since that’s what con men do)
I propose a bag of corn chips
as a throw in addition
(cause they go so heavenly with brew)
Louie reminded me of my
low salt diet restrictions
and counters with
a personalized brass mug
You see…
I’ve always struggled
with loose temptation
(being the undisputed master
of absolution rationalization)
but this time my conscience declined
the deal of a lifetime
Going to hold out
for the angels
of my better nature
to make me
a counter offer
and bargain hard for my eternal salvation
