He'Ll Put a Spell On You Part 1

when I was young I remember hearing this song and there was something about the words I felt were inherently wrong "I'll put a spell on you, I can't stand the things you do I don't care if you don't want me, I can't stand you because you're mine" there are entities in life trying to captivate our minds and manipulate our emotions wanting to govern our actions with subliminal messages and magic potions yet when Phillip a deacon and devoted disciple of Jesus Christ came to tell the Samarians about how to lead a Christian life he met a village magician, a master of trickery a false prophet, a charlatan with a degree in sorcery who had the village people afraid, living in abject fear with the threat to put a spell on anyone, any time, any where he positioned himself into a superior role of protection presenting himself as the one to give approval or rejection an expert in enchantment, his name was Simon the Great and when he comes into your neighborhood it's probably too late he comes with guns and gangs, pushing needles and drugs he brings all kinds of illegal activities and your garden variety thugs he stands on every corner displaying his illusions a snake oil salesman offering dreams of delusion he preys on the vulnerable, the weak and the young flashing his bling-bling and his slimy forked tongue there's a Simon in every village, town and neighborhood and there's nothing in him that about being good so what is a village to do? when Simon has threaten to put a spell on you
