Less Tangible Than Air

Less tangible than air
but they live everywhere
with an impact more real
than iron and steel

No shadows they cast
though the sun blazes past
nor substance to block
the light that they mock

Yet block it they do
and obscure it from view
with their energies dark
and their beastly mark

Sworn enemies of man
and God and His plan
They delight as we mourn
our slaughtered unborn

The usual suspects
those Heavenly rejects
contrive and conspire
and their chief is a liar

Misled to believe
the tales that they weave
We are all too willing
to join in the killing

As we watch evil rise
it should be no surprise
that insanity rules
forming thick bloody pools

And delusions abound
among people, unsound
given over to rage
in this mindless age

Don't make the mistake
to believe they are fake
Just because you can't see
doesn't mean they can't be

Even winds are unseen
yet the tree tops still lean
when the atmosphere blows
as everyone knows

So please bear in mind
though the whole world is blind
to our foes now concealed
they'll soon be revealed

Then these demons from hell
nevermore can compel
human beings to kill
one another at will

And our God shall prevail
as the evil ones wail
leaving death and despair
less tangible than air
