+==== THE DEVIL’S FOOD ====
+WE’RE bound by baser instincts
+\\ Which we must struggle through;
+\\ The thing we call the devil
+\\ Was born in me and you.
+He thrives on thoughts of envy,
+\\ On jealousy and hate;
+\\ When we’re unhappy and distraught
+\\ Our devil feels first-rate.
+He points to power, wealth and fame—
+\\ All these we’d like to see;
+\\ When these obsessions grip our souls
+\\ He’s full of devilish glee.
+Unbridled passion is his meat,
+\\ When we are low and vile;
+\\ When we are sinking like a ship,
+\\ It makes our devil smile.
+But when our sleeping souls awake
+\\ And evil we forsake,
+\\ The finer feelings in our hearts
+\\ Make our old devil quake.
+And when we know the right from wrong;
+\\ That right’s the thing that lasts,
+\\ There is no food for our false friend—
+\\ Then our old devil fasts.
+So evil passions make him strong,
+\\ His poison is the good;
+\\ When we are filled with peace and love,
+\\ He dies for want of food.
