You're just another one in this false parade
And the devil laughs in your head

"The world is a stage "where we all sadly take part in "false parade"letting the devil get the better of us.Nice very nice insight to ones own soul.Loved the last stanza and welcome back.......keep writing.

Nice write!

I really liked this. I could really feel the devil leading me astray! I could feel the emphasis on the hypocrisy of portraying ones self to be different than what one actually is. Great write and imagery.
