The devil had been planted many years ago-
The grave covered with dirt, the grass grew slow.
.
The boy had identified him as such and had great fear-
So when they put the devil out there, he no longer went near.
.
He had told the story of the devil coming after him in a dream-
You get the idea, you can easily get the scheme.
.
This dream was so bad that he actually broke his window-
So when they planted the devil, at this particular cemetery he would no longer go.
.
He and his friends used to venture inside the cemetery just for fun-
But when they planted the devil, this activity could no longer be done.
.
Time has passed and one day the devil’s daughter will be joining her father in the very same spot-
While on this earth, they had so much in common, and will share the same cemetery lot.
.
It’s a shame for the boy I was talking about previously is out there too-
Unfortunately at the time, what else was a person to do?
.
Some folks don’t belong in hell and that boy is one of those-
To separate the good from the bad is the way this story goes.
.
He was accused of being a thief, but we all know better-
Down to the last breath, down to the last letter.
.
When the devil’s daughter is put out there others will
stay away too-
Double evil is what this cemetery will accrue.
.
The devil had been planted many years ago-
The grave covered with dirt, the grass grew slow.
