Good Person

[Weeded]

Even after you state this is a monologue from the devil, I still can't see it. I tried too- believe me. I think a first person depiction of the Devil is very difficult to pull off- especially after the Rolling Stones. There's not much in the poem of religion, either. The Devil is said to speak in tongues, maybe take this into consideration if you decide to edit? The Stones interpretation is extremely potent with the idea the Devil is not necessarily a good person, but a sophisticated person with charm. (Please allow me to introduce myself/ I'm a man of wealth and taste/Pleased to meet you!/Hope you guess my name!) Not saying you should piggyback ideas from classic rock songs but it's said the Devil disguises himself as the Angel of Light to get what he wants (so he must be charming, and sophisticated). Also I have no idea what that last line is supposed to mean.

I think the idea of this poem is great, however it seems to be lost in execution.
