Best Tempter Poems
Oh ye voice of woe
Why do my ears hasten to hear thee
Is there no other
Truly silence is better
Then only the sound of my heart is heard
Fear comes quickly
For if perchance it should be silent too
Then it would be my death I hear
Truly my thoughts are empty
I then hear me crying woe where are you
For silence is a crypt
Oh voice of temptation, tempt me
(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

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?
Satan came to Jesus in the wilderness
the saviour was hungry after been on a fast
He was tempted to turn stones to bread
but Jesus was ready knowing His past
Jesus declared bread is't my single food
God's word alone is His living bread
that's His real satisfaction for His soul
He'd foxed satan by what He read
The holy city was the devil's next ploy
accusing God's son He said jump down
for scripture says His angels will protect
being commanded to from heaven's crown
Jesus said you won't put God to the test
for He is greater than everyone on earth
so the devil showed Him from way up high
every kingdom is yours, fall before my worth
The Lord Jesus told satin be gone!
enough is enough and the devil left
Jesus stood the test over His enemy
God's word victorious when it's confessed
(Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” But he answered, “It is written,
“‘Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written,
“‘He will command his angels concerning you,’
and
“‘On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”
Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’” Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written,
“‘You shall worship the Lord your God
and him only shall you serve.’”
Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him.)
Matthew 4 : 1-11(ESV)
The tempter waits for his time
The tempted waits for his fate
at first glance it appears harmless to look upon
so you take your first sip
a numbing sensation comes from within
then gradually you build up the tolerance
then the second one comes & the third
next you know your starring at the ceiling
having a hell bent conversation with yourself
how did it get this bad how did I get here
then the tears as you intoxicate yourself with drink
onto the shots the sport a high appeal
the numbness sets in your belly
you fall over on the stool not to cool
no one helps you in this state no one seems to care
you feel sorry for yourself & then
go in for the kill again it's called addiction
the liar Satan makes awful things look very nice
but you never know if you get another chance to roll the dice
it's a crap shoot you know so its where you take it
hard to fake it when you throw up all over yourself
the vomit comes out on the door and even more
you end of peeing in your pants
not a real good way of starting a romance
but a first glance the cup looked quite appealing
now you don't know how to deal in
taking bits of your heart that's how the devil was dealing
but today I found the savior don't need the vice to think twice
I have lived another day for a chance to roll the dice
so don't ever fall for the great lie of alcohol
there's always a way of escape though so stand ten feet tall
