διάβολος – the Greek word for devil

bears within itself the meaning of  

“the one who throws slanders” 

I am watching the kids in front of the apartment blocks   

how they divide into teams 

the strongest one says  

which team the weak should join 

then the slander begins  

among the players 

war exists   

on the same principle
