In a Room Pitch Black

In a room pitch black
 With a heart so dark
  A diabolic idea shown
    Like a sun out of a dawn
     I tried not to think
       But the more I tried the more I sink
        Feeling myself going deep into a bottomless ocean
         Reaching the core of a devil’s notion
          I was engulfed by my thought
            Feeling a fish caught
             When all of a sudden I saw a beam of light
              Writing the word fight
                It is the devil’s trick
                 To get you on knees to make you bad and sick
                   Don’t let it get into your heart
                    He can sneak into everywhere but not into your heart
                      Just say the word
                       The divine sword
                         And I did say it over and over again

This is so true. The devil can get into anywhere, but not into our heart, if we don't let him. Thanks for sharing this with us. Lucilla
