Familiar Demons

Their actions are so crude. They are so rude. They got bad attitudes. They have no altitude. The devil is their main dude. They don’t even know that I know that they smile, But that evil spirit in them shows. Stuff that they did long ago Bothered me and I couldn’t quite Pinpoint it at all but after many trials Sufferings and falls . I could see through The familiar demons then and Most definitely can now. They often say they know me Because of my family. They don’t know me at all They are the demons that Trying to pull us down To hells four walls. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I was born and raised In my state’s high place I went down south Near the Mississippis mouth In order to get restored Now I’m back in the high place Very bored to help those Who are young and broke down In my hometown. I face familiar demons daily And when I mention Jesus’s name And quote the Word of God literally And claim to live righteously To help the struggling youth By speaking the truth I get attacked by the familiar demons Of my youth who still want to hold us back Not teaching us and driving a Lexus or Cadillac. I know that God has my back And He brought me for a reason For a grand harvest season Of gaining souls for the glory of God.
