Vincent Flannery Poet Rhyme

Being Trapped

“The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way”
It was in the Bible that this verse was found as to what Jesus would say 
The trap being a stumbling block laid by the wicked lying in wait
As one day you will hear that knock again trying to tempt your fate

When this trap first appears it will be so very enticing indeed
It will subtlety calm all your fears while fulfilling your biggest need
It will seem so right to just go along stepping right on up inside
And that quick and ever so slight he got you and now you can’t hide 

Looking out from within you seek what you have just lost
Such are the eternal effects of sin having such a terrible cost
Now desperate and so alone as every escape you have tried
You finally turn to the Light shone in swallowing your pride

And as He releases the latch and opens up that door
Freeing you from all the thatch and again letting you soar
But in going on about your day remain aware of such snares 
Best to just follow in His Way and stay away from the lairs
