Live Minus the ‘v'


Kingdom of flesh,
Sanctuary of ribs.
Reigning in darkness,
Worshiping the eternal night.
The devil says he’ll let me live,
But to me that’s just a lie.

I choose the
Kingdom of heaven,
Sanctuary of truth.
Reigning in brightness,
Worshiping the eternal light.
God says in me, he lives,
And that is not a lie.

I love your faith Raul..I do believe the devil have power,Our darkness is his wish,Yet like you,i do believe that God is more powerful indeed,and a little flicker of light shines a whole room of darkness..Yes God lives in these verses,in you to my friend,,loved the title Raul,Got my attention--Charma
