An Urge of Invocation
( Nothing will be yours, no need to invoke your voiceless deity)
Many are the gods we can appease
with our lust, greed, and thievery;
there's one God who won't accept any or all of these:
let's invoke Him when faithfulness contests this falsity.
We are pathetic and unreliable humans
calling upon God whenever dark days
bring shadows to make us languish in agony,
in useless invocation to repair lost
amenities, not redeeming our guilt
with Him who can strengthen our weaknesses
and make of us the valorous soldiers
who pursue truth, faith, honor, and loyalty.
Human behavior is very bizarre and strange,
it seeks pleasure in banal things to avenge
absurd are the restrictions imposed upon us;
Satan is ready to attack us and bend our wills,
and should we obey him: he'll hand us all the riches,
all the pleasures except for the calamities that they cause...
why live under a satanic spell and not choose holiness?
Keep your body clean and make it a temple,
don't decorate it with tattoos and faces of horrifying creatures:
don't live life your way and drink bitter wine to a faceless muse.
Nothing will be yours, no need to invoke your voiceless deity:
no answer will be given, deafness was given to stones of man-made imagery;
they are at a standstill when a distraught soul questions their mystic theory:
use your shrewdness, it's a powerful tool to fight treachery.
