Poem
God created a universe to appease, The earth, the stars, the seas. He also created the devil who would tease He would be the angry, rebellious seed Once an angel of light is his confession He was kicked out of God’s glorious heaven To begin his reign on this earth, his possession Regaining power with his worldly weapons His armament on earth cuts like a knife That beckon us to sin when there is strife He lays in wait for those he might invite Hoping to discourage from eternal life He is bound for an eternity of suffering Old Lucifer is a liar from the beginning His hand is on the sinner who keeps sinning He shows up wherever evil might be winning This devil who sends his demons to destroy Is definitely not someone with whom to toy He has power on this earth, but can’t employ Anyone who trusts completely in God’s joy He can make life hard for those who believe Sending us messages of distrust to perceive But his ways are not strong enough to make us leave The faith that has taught us we need not grieve The devil is like a roaring lion, going to and fro, Seeking whom he may destroy with his ammo Seeds of doubt and distrust that we know Are mere lies sent to dissuade from the chance to grow This evil one may tempt us with trials and such But he can never give us the truly soft touch That comes from God above with so very much Love that there is no way of denying who is judge
