ALCOHOLIC DREAMS

I passed the ticket through the hole,
and saw the lips of a little soul,
that said "welcome to devils workshop"
"idle brain's last stop"

my heart pushed my legs back
and felt as if I hit a sack
"welcome"the voice held me still
I turned around and saw another devil

"for the next hour, i would be your guide,
dont let any of your questions hide
for we know what they are
and we believe here, everyone is at par"

he was the devil himself
with the horns of ram and ears of elf
he had a long red tail
so strong , that it could be a flail

he led me into the long hall
where every devil had a crystal ball
they leaned over it and chanted spells
I could see the humans trapped in those shells

"before you could ask" said the devil
"I shall answer that those are people idle
those who rest their brain
and let time fly in vain"

"we work on them and make them work,
and turn them as clumsy as an orc
and lead them into more sin
then the master from hell says "you are in""

into some of the balls did i peep
some I saw were in love deep
some I heard, talked no sense
and some had their own ways of indulgence

then I wondered, and before the devil could know
I asked, "is there a ball for me and that you can show"
the devil smirked and said "you are all at your will"
"in your ball, talking to the devil"
