THE DEVIL'S ACOLADE

in #poetry7 years ago

This poem was gotten via an inspiration from a movie serie i am watching titled LUCIFER.
Lucifer was tired of hell and gave himself a break by coming to Los Angeles.
But the irony of it all was when He went about doing good and punishing the bad guys.
Enjoy the poem below:

             THE DEVIL'S ACCOLADE

     It was evening again,
     feeling stressed up and tired out,
     the day's job seems as hectic as never before,
     still walking along the pedestrian  lane.

     I waited for over two hours,
     the taxi man would not come still,
     the stars beginning to surface,
     what is going on? I kept asking myself.

     Another extra thirty minutes added,
     already at the point of giving up,
     suddenly, I saw a car parked in front of me,
    hello! hop-in, the handsome man exclaimed.

     I could see my house distant near,
     I think i deserve some accolade, He whispered,
     who are you by the way! ,I asked,
     with a soft voice he said, I AM LUCIFER!

So this is what i could come out with... thought of it and within the space of 10 minutes,, the poem was ready....
