Beelzebub

He roams to and fro seeking to decieve, kill and destroy
Sweet lamb eyes bat and entice your heart into contentment
Slick and pleasing until he has your life taken eternally away
Rewarding your great service until pride has you decieved to believe
"I don't need a savior" I am ok by myself, I am so smart
God will be wise to ask my advice before he plans his next move
Powers and demons attract your mind to death and hell
Brimstone begets the lake of fire forever separated from the love of God.

A really good portrayal of the Devil and the struggle within all of us. Thanks for allowing me to read it.

The demon of gluttony and Lord of the Flies who revolted against Satan in some writings. Wise to disregard him.

Doris, I hope you have entered this in the "Eternal Figures" contest. You convey the power satan seeks to use in controlling people's lives so well. We do need God, a savior, to help us stay on a righteous path. Well done! Love, Carolyn
