Paul Harvey wrote a rendition titled: If I Were The Devil. You can easily find it on Youtube. I thought I’d write a similar rendition. Just a food for thought kind of thing. With no further waiting, here is my version….
If I Were The Devil
If I were the Devil, I’d build a nation to rule all nations.
I’d make Man create a Religion based off a book.
A book that is merely inspired by a Higher Power, but written by Man.
The one creature so full of mistakes, but so eager to perfect.
I would divide man by dividing their faith.
Put them against one another, with reason to discriminate.
For their greatest weakness, is their differences.
Divide and conquer until none are left.
Until all are lost and far from the truth.
I would make Priest live alone, giving them an anterior motive.
All the while others live in Marry.
For I need not do this, because the Devil is not me.
The Devil is you and you’ll do as you please.

So, let’s think about that for a while and try to put aside our differences. It’s not about being right. It’s about getting along. We all share this Planet, whether we like it or not.
Well done!
Glad you liked it. I think it’s important for us all to get along and set aside our differences. For man is wicked indeed. If we don’t learn to get alone, we’ll be our own undoing.
I couldn’t agree with you more.
