The Devil Wins Poem by Randy McClave

When man ignores the Lord,
The Devil is bored.

When man worries and weeps,
The Devil sleeps.

When man is displeased,
The Devil has sneezed.

When man is being scoffed,
The Devil has coughed.

When man receives aches,
The Devil awakes.

When man is being provoked,
The Devil has choked.

When man does a wrong,
The Devil sings a song.

When man is full of guiles,
The Devil smiles.

When man is full of wrath,
The Devil will laugh.

When man falls into a ditch,
The Devil scratches an itch

When man thinks about wars,
The Devil snores.

When man surrenders and sins;
The Devil wins.
