Poem: Devising Our Own Demise Devising Our Own DemiseWritten By: Raymond CarterIn a world of chaos there reigns terrorIn which terror seeks the weakIt is not unnatural to feel so bleakTo give into temptationFor selfish mutilation and eternal damnationFor those who are strong are proudAnd for those who are weak are miserableIn the time of needSome will pleadFor any kind of reliefThey respect the treesThey are on their kneesPleading, begging, wanting to be savedOnly cold air goes through their foolish wordsAs there is no evil, there is no goodThere is only man and what he has doneThe credit scores decliningTensions making the stench of
