DRAG ME TO HELL

I

A woman’s heart is so fragile

Who knows what a man can do to it?

A man can either romance it

Make it bigger

Or eat it

And save other men from her pain

Love is like an apparition

Before we marry the woman rules

After we marry the man rules

But a woman is more powerful than a man

Little wonder

She can break or mar

A man without his chisel

II

But in fury the man is a danger

Of other men and the women at large

He must be a beast to have beaten a woman

Everybody knows the woman is weaker

Wait, what about the crime of the woman?

Maybe you don’t know some women beat their men

In that instance, the man is a fool

He’ll be a monkey in the sight of all

That was my tale, when I married Anita

III

I never said I courted a demon

To me, she was the saint

And I, the demon

Little wonder

When the prophets came

I willingly declared; I was the devil

I'd gladly give my life for her

Even if the truth we all see

Yet she’ll overcome me with her weakness

She’d drag me to hell

She’ll say I’m even the devil

After all, no man will believe me
