In the lions den

He roars from the distance, instilling in everyone, terror and fear Approaching stealthily, though unseen, somehow you sense he's near. Then, in an incomprehensible instant of time, before you can react The lion lunges at you, the unwary prey, in an outrageous attack. The roar is intentional, skillfully utilized, to inspire fear, to paralyze Shaking, quaking, fearing imminent death, the hopeless ones realize The time has come, ready or not, for their premature earthly demise Perhaps unaware, that God has prepared for all, an earthly paradise. The lion is a beast, an enraged animal, with an insatiable appetite Targeting humanity, especially the innocent, inexperienced in the fight Hatred and extremism, promulgated by evil men, wicked schemes roar Propaganda machine running full steam operators tabulating the score. Wicked people brutalizing others, committing atrocities are inhumane Deceived human agents of a malevolent unseen lion who's gone insane This diabolical lion, is on the prowl, ever watchful, seeking to devour prey Righteous humans will survive unharmed, if they humbly seek God and pray.
