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
