The Stealthy Wizard

The Stealthy Wizard
By Curtis Johnson

Who is he who so dastardly  continues to displease heaven?
Who is he who failed in his attempt to rule via ursurpation?
Who is this timid one who stands in the way of his own                            advancement, but yet unduly influences civilizations?                                     Who is he who glides in stealth, who beguiles by fraud,
only to rule on the throne of wickedness?

His earthly reign began through deceit in a garden from a tree.
His operation continues through fear, but resistance compels him to flee.

It’s imperative that we give all ears to clearly listen and understand.
He is the one of whom we must decide to be either his foe or his fan.
He fell from heaven’s heights, and against him we must take our stand.
He is the cowardly and thievish artist of deceit.
He is clever, and the lying master of manipulation.
He never stands toe to toe to fairly fight like a man.

Like swift flying bats from darken caves,                                                       he descends like scavengers salivating the feast.
He intimidates near and far, and twists the truth.
He rips the innocence to threads like an angry beast.

Fear him not, because he has already been stripped of both his
earthly and heavenly title.  In the ultimate struggle for the human soul,                he was defeated and made an open show on top of a hill.
He now awaits his ultimate demise, and his final doom is certain.
