"And God, like a father rejoicing to see
His children as pleasant and happy as he,
Would have no more quarrel with the Devil or the Barrel
But kiss him, and give him both drink and apparel."
- The Little Vagabond, William Blake
Would God give clothes
to the Devil in need?
Or food when the Devil
was begging and hungry?
Would God give the Devil
an arm round his shoulder
when he could stand no longer
under his burdens and debt?
To think God would turn him away;
who's heard of it?
