The Enemy Within

While Satan still manipulates the call to arms is apparent, when disarmament stipulates a flaw a weakness to exploit; by the next despotic arrant moving amongst us all adroit. Peaceful lands of noble intent sing your gullible lullaby, relinquish your strength you’ll repent aiding the augment of evil; his preying armies to satisfy destroying peace with upheaval. While Satan still manipulates peaceful lands of noble intent. © Harry J Horsman 2016

There is a quote from the Usual Suspects that I like. "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled on the world is convincing the world he doesn't exist." Thank you Harry for taking this courageous stand and reminding us that evil would destroy the world - IF it could. Thankfully we have a Savior! Blessings and congratulations!

Sadly, many Satans stroll this wonderful planet. I'd so love to aradicate them as they arise and before they damage their peripheral and beyond. Powerful terrific poetry Harry ~~ James :)

Satan inspires the blackest of hearts in evil men. Currently , we see this rampant in attacks on innocent people around the world by a "certain group" inspired by him IMHO. A7

Satan is on a rampage, Harry!! You captured that very well. I enjoyed your take on the cornish sonnet. You chose a difficult but relevant topic.
