If I Begged the Devil
by Debra Rose (Age: 21)
copyright 05-03-2005


Age Rating: 16 to 127

 
This was written for a friend who's boyfriend beats him, rapes him...for his friend, who slit his own wrists and died two nights ago...and for every other boy, girl, adult, and kid who can relate...

I met a boy today, he was crying in the rain,
Barely thirteen, I didn't know what to say,
He had a bad cig in his lips,
His zipper was torn right off.
His boyfriend raped him,
Then left him for a new cock.

I put my arms around him, gave him all I could,
A line of white powder, it's all we understood,
He had the straw, I carried the cocaine,
We hid in the ally,
Made all our tears go away.

If I cried out to Jesus, would he show me the holy light?
If I begged to the Devil, would he protect me in the night?
If I asked for Loki, would he show me how to be good?
But all I gots a dealer, five razors, and the holy book.

When we ran out, we finally parted our ways,
I watched him travel, before I looked away,
A few days later, he was on the news,
Found him in the dumpster,
He went to sleep for good.

I watched the funeral, peering through the bars,
Parents didn't know me, didn't matter at all.
I shed tears, approached when they were gone,
Dropped a powdery bag,
Some new cigs,
And a mini water bong.

I left from the site, went to drink it all away,
Stopped at the church, thinking I could pray,
But the priest had this gleam
Took a boy to confession,
I heard the scream
When he showed him the meaning
of guilts profession.

If I cried out to Jesus, would he show me the holy light?
If I begged to the Devil, would he protect me in the night?
If I asked for Loki, would he show me how to be good?
But all I gots a dealer, five razors, and the holy book.

I stopped at the bar, I stopped to take a breath,
Got some free booze, some liquor and some meth,
I cried for a few hours, tried to wash away the pain,
But all I saw was him, standing in the rain.
I saw the innocence of the boy, sitting in the flock,
Before the priest could take him, make him like a rock.
I thought of all I'd see, before my dying day,
The innocence all gone, what else could I say?
I thought of gods who made us, cursed them over booze,
How could they be so sick? Who made all these rules?
I saw the graveyard headstones, I saw a mothers tears,
And in all my thoughts, I saw all my fears...

(Screw you god...)

If I cried out to Jesus, would he show me the holy light?
If I begged to the Devil, would he protect me in the night?
If I asked for Loki, would he show me how to be good?
But all I gots a dealer, five razors, and the holy book.

And all I needs a dealer, five razors, and some holy book.




(To Des...may you RIP) I know this is really...vulgar...sorry if its too much for some people...I just...today has been so much, with talking to Freak and all that... *Sighs* I'll write about it in "Saturday's Alter" later.

Tremendously powerful writing....The ability to express what you see, feel and hear, as powerfully as you have is a talent most can only attempt but never truly achieve. This tribute to your friend is thought provoking in the extreme and as for vulgarity, I saw pain, sadness, despair, anger and grief, but I saw no vulgarity.

This is an amazing poem. It speaks of truths that many people hide and repress from themselves as to ease their own suffering. I agree with a lot of it and absolutely love it. It may be difficult tom some to read, but it's reality spoken in clear and consise words. Great job.

There is nothing I can say to add to what has already been said by others. This is a hard poem to read, as it really cuts to the heart.

Abuse is sad, and suicide even more so. There's so much pain in the world. How I wish I could take it all away somehow. The best I can do is share my hope in God and remind people that he's not to blame. We did this to ourselves (mankind, beginning with Adam and Eve) and it pains our creator to watch us ruin ourselves. He's promised that if we heed his advice, things will go better for us and he'll reward us with eternal bliss. I am not some Bible thumper, but I honestly feel that the HOPE I have is what gets me through. I've written an article on rape. I'd love to know what you think of it. Hope to see your comments on it. :-) And thank you for sharing your pain.

Debra, this is an amazing poem. I loved the way it flowed and how it made you feel that emotion. I'm a sorry for you're loss as well


06-29-2004 Walter Jones    

I cry with you, and my heart bleeds with you, the pain is real, the razor and bible, time lets the world fall into pieces at your feet. God reaches to us all. The devil takes all and leaves nothing not even the powder on the blade. The poem is the protest of Blake, the love of Byron, the anger of
Poe, and questions of Peter, faith of Paul. For in the sorrow of life, beauty finds its way to the heart. Walt

Debra, this was a hard read because it made me FEEL...I've been on both sides of abuse and have used the booze and drugs in order to alleviate the pain and guilt. I can only hope that as times passes you'll feel better. Sending you love and hugs,
Nancy
