Entrapment

I am dressed in Scarlet , upon my head a crown parade myself like royalty in an embroidered gown but my insides are hollow am emptiness within my bones are dry and broken in my leathered skin I proclaim my virtue but I wear disguise clothed myself with rainbows to cover all the lies with flattery I bait you lead you to my bed but I carry poison which will make you dead My movements are graceful lead you to my door smoothly enticing I have done this many times before I coil myself around you a tightening embrace my ropes are entrapment until you are debased Millennia’s of practice my roles to take you in I prey upon your weakness the foolishness of Men dress myself in beauty upon my face a smile every desire targeted till I you beguile I will take your money but aim to take your dreams will keep your mind distracted off more exalted things the inexperienced one captive I hold his members tight he only thinks of pleasures not of wrong or right Avowed is my profession I know the one I serve my profits world famous exceeded the learning curve I walk the streets openly every lust is my delight its ideology pervasive billboarded like an invite The small and great have entered my merchandise is wealth polluted mind and body its promiscuity as health I’ve teased every desire anticipated with bated breath hidden traps in darkness my intent is death I have dominated mankind for countless century bent him to his hubris and stroked his vanity methods that are devious I lead him with deceit against my machinations his fortress is incomplete My reigns have controlled man a saddle on his back barely more than animals for the sentience they lack minds meant to soar like galaxies but I have cast them down undermined his intelligence stolen his rightful crown I lead him to a mirror his reflection is all he sees but I am not transparent when I bring him to his knees highly am I exalted Mans religion is my game philosophy controls his heart and what he wants is fame Those who know the truth avoid me on the street understand that I am fatal once ingested means defeat be aware of your opponent and every trap that’s laid if you have not comprehension Your life the price that’s paid Ezekiel 23 Proverbs 6:20-35 & Proverbs 7 Rev 17- 18 & 21:8 COPYRIGHT © 2011 C Michael Miller via Duboff Law Group LLC
