Mercedes Hodge Poet Rhyme

MasterPeace From The Beast

One night, I was lying on my back, and I heard a voice so low, gentle, and smooth
 Tell me” My dear child I have a gift for you” 
This gift will help see you through 
This gift will bring out the best in you 
This gift will improve your quality of life 
This gift will make you a success overnight
 I asked Oh God, what can it be?” 
God said “Go to sleep and in the morning, you shall see” 
The next morning, as I ventured out as I do everyday
 My tongue started to move in a lyrical way 
I started saying things I’d never say 
I had congruent ideas that made a lot of sense
 I joined lyrics to rhythm to make it more intense
  Everything I wrote came out as a rhyme
 I would never expect such intellect to come from my mind 
This time I suppose, my soul was exposed 
My mind was the route the enemy would take
 He used me poetically to make my words rhyme periodically 
At night, I would see visions of spirits going through my ceiling
 I would dismiss them as a dream assisting me in healing
 I confess I tried to impress all my friends
 I had a snack of lyrical attacks 
It took very little to get me open 
With all of the enemy’s rage I wrote yet another page
 I was the target of its torment and didn’t even know it
 The gift I discovered was my hidden talent 
The enemy used me brutally by incapacitating me mentally
 It would impress me with success at my soul’s expense 
That’s when I realized that I was possessed 
Then one day, I drank a fool’s wine
 I grabbed my pen and opened my mind
 I wrote a rhyme, some lyrical phrases, and a poem 
I wrote three in no time and couldn’t wait to show them 
 I wanted to run amuck and scurry about
 I wanted to act like a fool, so I started to drool 
My voice started changing I think it was satan 
How did he find me? How dare he attempt to try me?
 I knew I had to fight him 
 He’s not allowed to enter my soul
 Especially if I didn’t invite him
 I called on Jesus, he’s always there when I need him
 Jesus said” My child, I will help you compel him”
 If satan tells you to run into the street
 I will oppose him with your feet 
If you start to think of ideas that don’t sound like me, I will help you defy and rebel him
 I called on Jesus’s name over fifty times
 I felt the spirits leave me and so did the rhymes 
 We were victorious in my fight with a demon
 By now my mind was a blank empty slate 
Then I heard God say, “ whatever he has offered you I will give you for free
 My gift is eternal, just believe in me” 
You have won this round, but believe me you are no match
 He will be back when you are unaware and your soul, he will snatch
 So please accept my gift that comes with every guarantee
 My gifts to my children are designed to uplift and set your mind, bodies, and souls free 
So, I accepted the gift again and this time it was different
 I didn’t feel so compulsive
 When I came upon a stumbling writer’ block I called on God 
When my pen hit the paper it was explosive 
Now there will be those who don’t believe me
 They’ll think I’m conniving and deceiving  
 Many will doubt me because they don’t want to hear it
 Believe me when I say that I had a battle in my spirit 
The devil promised me riches and respite 
He promised he’d make me a success overnight
 God and I used his tools to defeat him and bring me peace 
I will never forget that I fought a spirit and
 Robbed him of his lyrics and created a Masterpeace From the Beast
