The Distortion of Man

We’re sought by Satan of that I’m sure As he plots to derail our soul. Greed, hate, lust, anger and fear Are deeds which facilitate his coal. He smiles at lies, cheating and theft He laughs at never-ending war. He drools to conquer the hearts of man Shadowing every window and door. Tempting all with unclean pleasures His success is weakness and desire. We triumph only through the power of faith Avoiding eternal torment and fire. Goodness and evil illustrate life Like the two sides of every coin. Most can’t help but experience both As we learn who to trust, follow and join. Praise our Lord for morals and ethics The laws of heavenly command. Without God’s armor and his grace We become the distortion of man. By Tom Zart
