The Devil Loves Politicians

JESUS BETANCOURT 1955 (New York)

Rhymed
Why summon any of his own evil legions
There are more demons on earth than in hell
Some hide behind their religions
Waving Bibles so no one can tell

If you elect to ignore and blindly follow
This is all part of the Devil's plan
Don't cast a vote to spend eternity in sorrow
Beware of politicians promising entry to Heaven
