And they don’t stop 
All the pestering lies,
Love confusion
And make sadness their prize.
Away with you!
Be gone, untrue! 
The demons vie,
The demons lie.
 
Made of half-truth,
Full of frivolous spite,
Mean accusers
Seek to dim and kill light.
Away with you!
Be gone, untrue!
The demons vie,
The demons lie.

Crushing
My lungs,
Teasing cowards
Steal my breath in sleep.
Jealous of flesh,
They try to pry into my temples,
My deep.

Second guesses
Tangle reason with mud,
Dam all pathways
With cerebral crud — 
Endless doomsday,
Horses red, black, and pale,
Wars and losses,
Death in detail.

Rise, my mind,
Envision greater orbits.
Find the calm
By the steady star above night.
O logic sweet!
O reason’s fleet!
More be with me
Than be with thee.

Laying traps to
Catch me in my words
And seek offenses,
Evil counterfeits compassion
And love.

Mal den Teufel
Nicht an die Wand*
Devils rage
Enough outside.

In a mask or
Shielded only by face,
Sacred refuge
Stands inside its sure place.
Away with you!
Be gone, untrue!
The demons vie,
The demons lie.
Deceivers, fear
The white horse here.
Dismissed are you;
No more ado.

* German idiom: “Don’t paint the devil on the wall,”
meaning don’t create problems that don’t exist.
