Prince of Lies

Betrayer of thoughts
Seeker of lies
Cold and calloused
The one who despised
King of the world
Prince of the air
Fortune and glory
Yet not you cared
Fallen betrayal
Hopeless revenge
Promises of peace
Souls unhinged
Destructive desertion
Weaver of all woes
Murderous aggression
Founder of foes
Slithering waste
Serpent of doom
Roses are withered
While thorns are bloomed
Master of nothing
Throne to no heir
True mercy is given 
To those who beware
Accept his lies
Seal your fate
Or denounce your wickedness
For Heaven awaits

Entered into Free For All contest
11th place
1st place in P.D.'s Old Contest Entry

How nice to resurrect this poem, Matt! And we who know God by the name Savior, we know the one who wins in the end....not the guy you just wrote about, eh? Blessings to the poet who shares his faith! Gwendolen
