Be Warned!

There was a time in my life, when my interests did sway.
I studied the darkness, and all the dark ways.
Tarot cards, rune stones, palm reading and such.
Past lives, witchcraft, even had healing touch.

I wanted to know them, to see if they were real.
I just wasn't aware then, just how serious the deal.
It all started as fun though, and the future read good.
But soon evil enveloped, covered life like a black hood.

Everything became twisted, good spirits turned bad.
It didn't take long then, to realize i'd been had.
But, to get out's not so easy, evil doesn't like to let go.
It will follow you always, and mess up your life so.

Now, finally i've made it. I'm now back in the light.
Yet evil is sneaky, so each day i still fight.
So PLEASE heed my warning, stay away from the dark.
It will eat at your soul, like a man-eating shark.

The darkness will tease you, and pull you right in.
Then IT runs your life, your soul lost to them.
It will trick you and use you, and throw you away.
Please be warned against evil, don't turn to it's way.
