Do Not Listen To The Devil, 20 lines
(continued from above) The poem tells that he seeks to draw away "untested youth" to cause their lives early "to stink." He seeks to produce a spirit of melancholy to push one over the edge. The poem closes: "Don't let him o'er the edge to press, He wants to destroy everything, Through melancholy and distress, He pushes, he shoves, he does sting." Beware of suicide and suicidal tendencies. These have the marks of the devil. Listening to the devil does not produce a good mental health.
