The Author of the Lie

"The Author of the Lie" by: Eric L. Boddie It's amazing how many large altercations result from confrontations which are small All because he whispered in your ear that you can blame it on the alcohol Usually his approach is subtle, making it far more devious than the rest Because he always attacks at the weakest point, better known as the flesh He will use fast women to try to distract you from your wife He will use greed to try to distract you from your Life He will use false love to justify domestic violence He will use the conflict of confusion to disrupt any peaceful silence He is cunning and conniving, like no other ever known to this Earth He promises fortune and fame, happiness and Love, but empty dreams are all they are worth He offers temptations which are so very hard to resist Then he hides the consequence by telling us he doesn't exist He clouds the weakest minds with drugs and destroys necessities with desire He attempts to weaken your Spirit by takaing your focus off the only Power Higher He dwells in corruption, as the greatest enemy, he will debate But all he can use is influence, sin is a deed only we can perpetrate And his influence can have no power if I simply choose to deny Only I can be my enemy because it's always my choice, please don't believe the lie

Fantastic write, Eric! You are so right - the devil is a liar and can tempt us but whether to give in to the temptation or not is our choice. Well said! Love, Kim
