The Tempter

(A seductive voice, smiles as it looks over New York. While the sun rises) So my old record plays As the early morning mists slowly Drift in And herald the new dawn of those beguiled by sin The politicians Government's People Lovers and haters Oh, how the air is rich With such irreducible tension As they all wander around with delicious apprehension Gossipping Feeling self important and all the while never knowing They've been all bewitched (C) Copyright John Duffy Foundation. With global wars, politics and tensions worldwide, on many levels. Has the power of influence shifted slightly to the other side, in the spiritual game of freewill Between two immortal powers? Can you feel the world slowly getting darker?
