dialogue and the devil

"How could a good god conscience such evils as men?"

—Do you not also write in pleasure from pain?

Now for the claim: "He is in you," and "in your heart!"

—Do you not also do evil in good's own name?

Yes dears, that is where he dwells
A resounding "Yes, and!" I proffer;

Your heart is good, and 
the devil's red runs it through.

Father's heavens hug hell by every beat
sure as your father hugs you.
