The beast within

There is a beast,
that lives within.
In every man,
promotes a sin.
You hear his whisper,
from deep within.

Inside your brain.
under your skin.
He looks around,
for weakened souls.
To spread his venom,
and take control.

The heart of hell,
his place of stay.
He tempted man,
in every way.
Before you smile,
or even grin.
You must be aware,
of the beast within.

Sweet. Think I'll save this one for when I'm not listening to that Godly voice within like I should be. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Benjamin. Sometimes the wishpers are too tempting and man, when not listening to God is too weak.
