Tempted By Desire

This world that engulfs us is filled with obstacles,
the dark ambitions grab you, with it's tentacles.

Deception, lies and lust, make up his arsenal.
Desire wreaks it's havoc and the devil comes to call.

Your struggles make you weak and then you lose control.
Temptation by desire, leads us down a deep dark hole.

No one is immune to him and his clever ways.      
Be still and let our savior, lead you through the maze.

This world that's in front of you gives you what you want.
Needs come from the father, he's our confidant.

We can so easily become vulnerable to temptation. Your poem rings of truth. (Do you have a typo at the beginning of line 7?)
