The Greatest Trick Poem by Randy McClave

The Devil is not real
Neither is hell or heaven on top of the hill,
Churches just want our time and our money
And our labor, which isn't funny.
Sin is so much easier and a lot more funner
When away from religion you are a runner,
And with their lies, religions and preachers still persist
Saying and entity called the Devil truly does exist.
There is no such thing as Satan
That fact, I want to correct and straiten,
If he were true and really a being
Wouldn't he, we already be hearing and seeing.
There is no such place as a Hell
Where the supposed Devil and his demons prevail,
And of course there is no God up in the sky
We go nowhere when we die.
We can lie and we can cheat and we can steal
Then we can commit adultery, or kill,
To Hell us so-called sinners are not ever bound
When we die, we just go deep into the ground.
The Devil being real is the biggest lie ever told
He was created so our actions and beliefs churches can hold,
The Devil never ever tricked Eve
No matter what the Bible says, or what others might believe.
The Devil never mislead either you or me
Because we can think, and understand and comprehend and see,
We can sin and sin to our endless heart's desire
Because there is no Devil, and there is certainly no Hell fire.

One day to the doubters God will contradict
That the Devil indeed pulled his greatest trick,
The greatest hoax that the Devil ever pulled
Was when to his existence, the sinners he had fooled.
