The Devils Questions
How many times have you looked
in the mirror,
And questioned who you have
become?
From a boy who couldn’t hold a
pair of scissors
To one who could hold a gun?
That is indeed intoxicating,
The flavour of anger and rage
That corrupts absolutely
Regardless of your age.
How many times will I have to
look upon
This embodiment of evil and its
evil ways?
Which sickens me to death and
beyond
Tell me, who will end its days?
“That young man, the friend
Of us and our sage;
His informant, his benefactor
The controller of his wage”
How many times will you have to
run?
Is it not simpler to stop?
No, it is too late for that,
Your mind has gone to the devils
crop.
“You know it’s repulsive,”
“The deeds of that man.”
And since no one will stop him,
I shall take his hand.

I’ve managed to get a poem from Rayhaan again, finally!!
This is one of his first poems, and the first one I was shown. And it was from
there on that I realised that I could make something out of this and finally
started actually making content for this blog on a weekly basis. ~A Legend was
born~
Okay, not really. But Rayhaan is a legend right? J
You might want know why I haven’t been able to get
something out of Rayhaan for about a month now. Well, blame it on his computer.
And his choppy internet. And his broken computer. All those added up to create a situation
where Rayhaan didn’t have internet and didn’t have anything to access it
through anyway and nothing through which he could write poems or stories on.
But he managed to get a picture of this poem and send it into me so I could
feature it. It’s nice to have one of his poems again. But that doesn’t mean
he’s back. I just about managed to get this poem from him before he went
missing again. But not worry, I have some of my own stories to feature, and
there are some poems I’d like to feature after this.
Now, onto the poem. This poem wasn’t written because of
some specific emotion, but rather to sample the emotion in poem (as far as I
know). It doesn’t have any rhyme, and that’s deliberate.
As for the summary, there was none provided, so I’m going
to reminisce back to when we talked about it, and the summary he gave for it.
Here’s a natural language summary that, for the first time here, isn’t written
like it’s for intellectual study.
This is a written down recollection of Rayhaan giving
up on human society, and of himself too. He is admitting into the part of him
that he says doesn’t have the most beautiful of human feelings. It’s his almost
psychopathic part. He is reminiscing on his younger self too and showing his
regret for where it has gone now.
I admit, this wasn’t my best of efforts to get this
summary right, but with what I had, I guess I made the best of it! So the boy
he talks about here is pretty much himself, though I’m sure it has been exaggerated
for dramatic poetic effect (!).
What do you think? Did you enjoy this poem? Have any
opinions about it? If so be sure to leave your comment down below! (Yeah, I’m
sure you’d be bothered to that. As if anyone ever had.)
And remember, whether you enjoyed this or not, be sure to
share and see what your friends think of it!
That can be excused (sort of). What can’t is, why aren’t
you following our blog? Just enter your email in the gadget above and no, I’m sure
I won’t send you anything other than updates, and that isn’t even something I
do (Some computer server handles that, far away from where ever you or I live
(unless you live next to it!)), and I’m pretty sure I don’t even see your email
address. DON’T FORGET!
Thanks for reading!
