Men:

I have looked through obfuscated crystal balls to see my future; I have spoken to unwise men on mountains who lead me down more winding paths; I have read horoscopes that only added more questions; and I have been dealt Tarot hands that only had The Fool; I have gone to Palm Readers who asked to see the dorsal side of my hand

Now there are many people, myself included, who would look at such a list and would wonder where the universe had gone wrong.

Devils:

I have eaten pills for pleasure, looked at women to get a buzz, laid in bed to be forgotten, been angered because I was afraid, hated others to feel unique, fallen down to have others help me up, and signed many other deals from Mephistopheles without reading them with the hope it would be better than right here, right now.

Now there are many people, myself included, who would look at such a list and would wonder where the universe had gone wrong.

Deism:

To Pray Above.

To Accept Oneself.

To Love Others.

To Help the Meek.

To Follow the Truth.

To Learn from Mistakes.

To Admit the Oneness.

 Now there are many people who would look at such a list and would wonder where the universe had gone wrong. I just say thank you and take it one day at a time.
