Had To Pray

I had to pray during a moment in time that there 
would come a better day.
With no further ado the night of souls began to change.
The rays of  light showed through each liquid drop 
before they splashed upon the already moistened ground.
I'd like to think that all the people are becoming wiser 
regarding the evil one's very real presence here upon the Earth.

Lucifer watches as Michael spreads his big silver wings as 
he leaped into the air and engages in the spiritual warfare 
that's at hand.  Lucifer retreats for now, smiling to himself
 thinking, "There are still ways for me to remain the prince 
of this world.  It is I who influences events, who uses certain 
people, who uses leaders like puppets on a string.  These are 
the ones who are doing my bidding."
With this extremely pleasant thought Lucifer turned to walk 
on into the slowly fading light that would soon become eve.
