The Devil Reclaims his Crown

A young man, eyes bright with
Ambition
Made a deal with the devil.

He walked away,
Met a woman,
Made love,
Raised a family,
Fought wars,
Saw peace,
Grew old,
Garnered respect,
And died.
A quick and painless
Death.

And the devil, being cursed
With eternity,
Was there to take back
What was left.

The weekly cartoon contest is sponsored by @corpsvalues, in the spirit of giving back to the Steemit community and fostering growth.
@corpsvalues is a US military veteran who does artwork to promote discussion and healing to those involved in wars, and is an avid cartoonist and writer. He does all of his own artwork in his posts, which range in topic from comic to tragic. He firmly believes that artwork is for everyone, backed by studies that have shown how artwork builds and mends neural pathways in our brains. For him, this competition is a mission to bring as many people as possible into visual creativity and foster the continued work of those already doing it.
