The devil

I know everything about God and his two friends. He told me everything I needed to know about Him in His book. Some even call it holy! He told me his deepest darkest secrets in His book. And it so happens I took the time to read it. I read it every two hours of my life for months. I summarized his secrets. I re-read His secrets. I memorized some and now I even know the Lord’s Prayer by heart!

It’s the devil I do not know. The devil has no holy book. And she has wanted me since I was a small boy. They would rush me to Sunday school just to teach me His secrets. They told me to ignore her when she came to me in my dreams. They called them nightmares. When I was a kid I would wake up in the middle of the night and run to my parents’ bedroom. I was running from my dreams. They called them bad dreams. They called them nightmares. So my parents when I was a kid stopped me from watching horror movies. “They will give you nightmares”, my parents would say.

Until the day I finished reading Gods book of secrets. Then her voice became louder in my ears. I couldn’t help but stop to hear her screams now that I had read all His secrets. Then I started to listen to the devil for in them lay the dark secrets of the universe. And I found her secrets so interesting because God’s secrets I knew. They have been teaching me His hymns since Sunday school. So now I listen and learn what I never knew. Those nightmares have become whispers. The horrors I now love for in them lay more whispers.

Now am even learning hells hymns. And I swear she sings like an angel. She’s even teaching how to sing because in those songs lay dark secret poems. I love poetry and I love learning new things so when I hear her voice, I feel no pain. Please, may she never leave me alone for now she is my best-friend in this lonely world of Instagram, twitter, WhatsApp and Facebook. “Tell me more of those dark-secrets”, I tell her, “even the ones you keep learning”, because I think for the first time in her life she finally has a man who is willing to listen. And for the first time in my life, I am learning something new. Whisper to me even when am talking to some else. Whisper to me in my dreams, at a party, in the cinema or at a rock concert, with 50,000people around me, because I want to know all the secrets of the black hole.
