Job

how does it feel to be the one
that Satan gets to troll
when unencumbered by "begone"
the devil tests your soul
and turns your life all upside down
you keep exalting heaven's crown
and all the while you must
observe things turn to dust
how does it feel to be the one
a chosen cautionary tale
at least, you're thinking, when you're done
you're neither Jonah, nor the whale
