Who Art Thou
In this vast ocean of delinquent bawd,
loose malefactors stood in ambuscade.
to assuage the fiery zeal of pilgrims
through the path of the pits into the dungeon,
to quench the light of true life.
They allure through facade of a putrid clay,
and conceal the serpent in their thighs;
to seduce the Nazarites on a mission.
Oh Samson, “the philistines are upon thee”
though Delilah conspired with demons for this fall,
one from the camp, beckons a prey and the gang of marauders readily,
makes a mockery of true strength.
The enemy from the bedroom.
Puts a dagger in his heart
assigned mandate of diabolos
Hell hath them many walking the earth
disguised spirits in human flesh.
sapping strengths from precious souls.
squashing the destinies of valiant men.
at whose bidding dost thou fly?
Look around thee
look within thee
look above thee
who art thou?
