The Beast

THE BEAST

Beasts or beasties
what does it mean
to be a lowely creature?
Some beasts are brutes
like local yokels,
some are more barbaric,
and some can just be harmless rascals
clods that have no bite.
But the Prince of Darkness sends the air
of a cruel and hideous beast,
Satan, Diablo, Beelzebub just proper names
while fiend, imp and ogre appear more tame,
monster, hellion, fallen angel
they all paint the picture
of the Devil himself
the biggest beastie from hell.
