Analysis of What are you



Are you a Saint,
Or,
A fallen being,
Are you lucifer,
Or,
satan in disguise,
Are you a jew,
Or,
A good Samaritan,
For that matter,

I've seen you,
Performing,
Your lucifer's duty,
Even after,
The fall,
And have,
Obtained Satan's agenda,
The fallen one,
And
The evil one,
For that matter,
What are you?

Are you a Saint,
Or,
A fallen being,
Are you lucifer,
Or,
Satan in disquise,
Are you a jew,
Or,
A good Samaritan,
For that matter,

I've seen you smile,
Just after,
heartbreak,
And laugh,
Jus after,
losing your mom,
I mean how,
Do vent the pain,
Or maybe,
You're just numb,
What are you

Are you a Saint,
Or,
a fallen angel,
Are you lucifer,
Or,
Satan in disquise,
Are you a jew,
Or,
A good Samaritan,
For that matter.
