Beating the Drum of Doom

He can’t seem to stop
The beating
The continual meeting
Of Doom

He can’t seem to stop
The beat
The defeat
That looms

He doesn’t want to play
That’s what he
will always say
Yet he pounds

Let’s go another round
The sound
Intoxicating
Debilitating

Shocking yet true
He beats
Til he turns blue
Doom

Bang
Tap tap
Bang

Bang Bang
Tap
Bang Bang Bang
Play that thang…boy

“It’s the only thing
You're good at
Keep saying you
Won’t make it
You can’t take it
Beat until you bleed”
The devil said

Why am I listening
To the voice of a fallen
Angel?!
Just then
He took the sticks
And started banging
Upside the devil’s head.

It went a little
Like this…
Bang Bang
Tippety tang tang
Shpot Shpot
Diggety whit whock
Haggedy who hang
Fickety pho shang

And this is the
New song
He played.
He decided to
Beat Doom.

Ok this is a little odd to post after my last submission, but hey, once in awhile I need to write something a little less serious.
