Gotta Give the Devil His Due

Gotta Give the Devil 

"His Due"

Let’s have some sympathy for the Devil.

Eternally Outcast 

of all God’s Creatures.

Forever fixed, on striving ...

That is ...

He’ll never give up trying to capture your soul.

And ...

He’ll never accept defeat.

Get that? NEVER

Oh, and he’s smart. As a whip. [If you’ve ever tasted the sting of the lash, you know the kind of smart we’re talkin' about here.*]

*That Godforsaken motherfucker can parse shit to such a granular level that if he had another job 

it would be as a 

theoretical nuclear Physicist.

Strive he does ... and well. [Good return on investment, he does get.]

Strive? Strive?

To what?

To usurp the Throne of Heaven.

To be the Ruler of all Creation.

That pretty much sums it up.

Well, that’s the Devil for you.

Poor soul.

Heatedly rushing [flaming!] toward his goal ... eternally unreachable.

The worse of it ...

All too clearly he sees what he’s doing [and, of course, that it’s futile]

Yet, yet ... He won’t stop. 

Really, can’t.

Why not?

[Good question.]

Answer:

God keeps him that way.

Why?

[Another good question.]

For His Purposes.

Give that fucker his due!
