Subject: RAGE

Written on 3/1/2015

 

Worst Enemy Ever

War for the souls of mankind rages
Serpent of old, against God he debates
between heaven and hell, battle wages.

Father of lies and accuser of the saints
Insatiable desire to destroy the human race
War for the souls of mankind rages.

Hidden fury flashes through evil eyes
Thunder and lightning in blackened skies
between heaven and hell, battle wages.

Hungry to devour, he crouches in wait
Spiritual armor he cannot penetrate
War for the souls of mankind rages.

Appearing as Lucifer, he attempts to create
An aura of light, in his heart is pure hate
between  heaven and hell, battle wages.

Stand firm in Christ, do not hesitate
Do not be deceived or it may be too late
War for the souls of mankind rages
between heaven and hell, battle wages.

Emile Pinet March 3, 2015 at 10:20 AM The poem uses unusual and imaginative subject matter to make a statement and is clever in its use. The rhythm and story line are perfect. Well done. Emile. #7 Laura Leiser March 3, 2015 at 11:00 AM Thank you, Emile, as always, for your supportive comments! :)
