The Tears of Satan
~
They’ve got a weapon that can incapacitate you if you try to rob Fort Knox
His wealthy banking family friend told him in 1990
With a wealth of intellect he would never need rob to earn
As strong as Fort Knox, he tried to hold his mind and body taught
And keep concentrating when cysts formed in his neck and muscles
From a weapon he called the Tears of Satan
They armed and pointed it at him when he did roam
They also fixed one at his home
The Tears of Satan streamed at him from what looked the size and shape of a cell phone
The lowest tier of Satan is the complaint department and they are now mobilized
And their favorite prisoner is on the loose and having fun
We know what we must do they said as they grabbed the gun
On their warring belts they mounted fresh charge packs
Never to be allowed alone, they said as they greedily grabbed their empty gold sacks
He saw the particle wave originate from it and stream at him
It contrast through the bright daylight of heavens sun
What looked like hollow tears streaming at him sideways from her gun
She stood there with a cold heartless stare
As the static like drops were flowing at him sideways through the air
Incapacitating and disorientating him, she aimed it at him without a care
The Tears of Satan bled him from the ear, mouth, nose and eyes
Before he stumbled and fell to his death from the swarm of her transparent flies
They couldn’t give him any of their guilt
And now he lay there dead in the silt
She marveled and reasoned Satan would never cry
And said so in the cold as she held his freshly plucked dry eye
And then placed it in her sack with a now larger hoard of gathered hollow fly
