In this world, yes, there is no ha-satan

If I say, the evil inclination
notoriously personifies man

then, I lie, for ideas, I imagine
help myself and others since creation
indeed guide the masses to delusion
such is the measure of man that I span

with each step as I run with this engine
object of great envy, for greed is real
reality, simply, an illusion
lets the mind make sense of what we create
delusion occurs with categories

yet, the iron tracks as rails guide our fate
each day, to our destinations, stories
stories, stories, we make up, practice spiel

that I say, there is no good or evil
how can this be, as mind creates the forms
each day, on the train, I reflect and write
reality is language, no devil
even though, the other reflects my mind

if I say, I believe, then thunderstorms
subtly appear from God, even despite

no evidence of said being, I think
ordinarily of such matters, blind

helpless to consequences, conditions
arise before existence, before thought

such games, a contrivance, intuitions
as such, break through the wall of lies we bought
taken in thoroughly, as if we blink
and reality forms in an instant
no God, angels, Devil, demons, recant
