A curiosity to all human kind, and an occasional colleague to nature is the beast of all ages past and present. Where there is complacency and thoughts of emptiness and hopelessness he is present.

My failures, sadness, lost joys, lost hopes are all his companions, and with venom he milks me, terrifies me, drains me, coddles me, makes my blood run cold as ice in the moonlight nights where darkness is his delightful dance.

Talent he thrives upon to dwindle away from the hopeful unknowing innocent young. Like millenniums gone by he dredges up muck in your mind so that you can fall to your knees screaming for a demon's mercy . He plunders away your dreams as you soar into an uncanny realm of pure unmerciful madness. Your hopes, your skills, your talent, your education, your training, your degrees, your abilities are shattered ,smashed and crushed as they fall into a bliss of mass produced unknowing whys. You never knew what bitter venom struck you for his pure ruthless sake and delight.

He is the master of all your worst fears and evils,or whatever will be in your horrific nightmares. He does not challenge what has already been forsaken on this earth that has been ravaged by hate, defiance, terrorism, greed, and by cold blooded wars. He is God's most true and perfect opposite . He is the father of all universal terrors and of our enemies combined.

The beast is even a writer's worst enemy. Stagnation, writer's block, memory loss and a feeling of why even bother to think are a few of his discreet and inheritable jesters. These are the shallow few of the worst, and of that desire that gets you absolutely no where because that is just the way it just happens to turns out to be.

As I am weary and tired when he is near, and the life of me is drained dry by this ungodly fallen thing, all I can do is fall to my knees and cry and pray and plead for mercy.

In comedy they say he has horns and carries a mean pitch fork. Silly ways of the early films I guess, because the real beast in horrible hell devours you slowly in ways that you never understand or understood. What happens is that one day you want to jump, and like the trickster has desired, you actually take the leap, and fall you do to your demise like a once depressed businessman.

What more can I say. Take heed, and do your best in life so that somehow times will become better. What more can you do. You need your ever loving soul to get ahead so keep it, don't give it up out of fear because it belongs to you and not to the monster.

And if he does take your soul away, go to church, learn to pray, fall to your knees and plead for God's mercy, and leave him to God if your strong enough, and willing enough, and brave enough ,or simply just go ahead and join the lost souls and put up with all of his ridiculous ways.

Psychologists and psychiatrists never even realized he was real because they thought that wayward and depressed minds had caused businessmen to leap from high rise buildings.

It is all for your soul according to the good book and God. It is the supreme fight for all you have and all you will ever be that the devil wants from you

So now you can say your duly warned. And warned you are so that you can remember how to deal with this menace. Mind you, it will not be and easy task because hell and it's master are always formidably ready for your undoings. All I can say is that knowing does help sometimes during the challenges for your life.

Live, find beauty, find love, find goodness and some form of happiness and relief. Try to see the wonder and good in things, the joy in the casual blue sky and in the pure white snow that angels can bring to you from their kindly hearts. Think of God. Think about love and darling things. Think about Thanksgiving and Christmas and warm jackets and bright and colorful exciting things.

Live, and enjoy what God gave you and the bad guy will always remain at bay.

Kiss all your children and hug them dear, love the elderly and comb their thin gray hair, and wish upon the magnificent stars and watch evil as it fades into an abyss of the devil's own making. May God in Heaven love you , and shield you from all evil that would forsake you. And simply remember that God loves you forever.
