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
