The Devil Isn'T Ugly

The devil isn't ugly. He's attractive as can be. He appears to us in any form, That's tempting to you and me. Whatever is your weakness, Whatever tempts you most, Money, power, beauty, love, He's any and all of those. If these things aren't a stumbling block, Then he'll tempt you with pride. He'll offer you a house, a car, A really flashy ride. Material things don't ring your bells, Then he'll hit you with anger. Someone really hurts you deep. A friend becomes a stranger. Some things can be like little gods, We serve with adulation. Vanity takes many forms, Possessions, social station. If he can't trip you up with these, Then he'll hit you with fear. Whatever really scares you most, Is how he will appear. No, Satan isn't ugly; Unless he wants to be. No matter how he comes to you, He's ugly isn't he.
