Written for the Hugo House Literary Series in 2015

lyrics

He’s the one you hate
He’s the one you blame
You can’t face him or speak his name
You don’t know him at all


His sister fate and his brother sin
since they were children made fun of him
His mother love and his father time
tell their cocktail friends he was a troubled child
They they don’t know what its like
to be a troubled child


Gods on this left hand
the devil on his right
and he ain’t a getting much sleep
The orders keep rolling in and no bodies calling him just to say Hi
Yeah it sucks being Gods fall guy


It's not fair that what he does best
is pulling souls out of lives wreckage
You don’t know what its like



It used to be his passion
he was an artist
and like a dancer he'd lead you through the darkness
but too many faces through the years
terrified when he'd appear
They don’t know what its like

Gods on this left hand
the devil on his right
and he ain’t a getting much sleep
The orders keep rolling in and no bodies calling him just to say Hi
Yeah it sucks being Gods fall guy

Death is coming will you look him in the eye's
And say HI!
