Follow Or Be Followed

Demons are everywhere
seen and unseen
They use you and abuse you
yet they follow
They pull you to the right
they pull you to the left
they spin you around
yet they follow
They manipulate you
confuse you and torment you
yet they follow
You ask the question, WHY Lord?
and he answers 
follow or be followed
You see my child
when you follow the light and follow me 
demons flee
because demons only follow 
the darkness within
So follow or be followed

Betty, , Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT
