There have been those–
That faced the Devil–
And lived to tell the tale.
Some because they are brave.
Others because they are stupid.
But very face the Devil,
Only to walk away,
Having outsmarted him.
But it’s never these we hear about.
It’s the ones who attack
With no strategy.
Or those who accidentally
Walk out with the upper hand.
It shouldn’t be recognition,
But rather, gratification,
That guide our choices.
