Deception

Contributed by Lone_er on Monday, 22nd September 2003 @ 01:05:00 PM in AEST
Topic: ChristianPoetry



Deception

Deep-seated truths
Lightly sprinkled with lies
Yields a counterfeit
Which evil belies

Satans lie is so glorious
His deception so hard to see
The truth as he spins
Sounds so much like liberty

He appeals to our vanities
The yearnings of our heart
Dulling the consciousness
That keeps good and evil apart

Twisting truth
He subtly dims the Light
All the time giving false assurances
Everything will be alright

Presenting his truth
To hearts searching in pain
He appears to give comfort
With truths perverted and vain

Aww humans
He says with a smile
Promise them life without boundaries
And in a little while

They will believe
Anything I say
Though their hearts see Gods truth
They will ignore it anyway

Make it easy
Make it seem right
And they will follow darkness
Believing its Light

Just a little lie
A little twisting of whats true
And before you know it
Youll believe me too !

Russ

This sounds like voice from my own,
I experienced the same once

i wish no one ever had to meet him..

I have to really wonder who
will tell mere mortals what is true,
If evil looks good, does opposite look bad
If such the case, then I've been had.

I had always found it quite amazing how people found the dark better than the Light.
In suffering the right,it's easier to have the road of "easy".
If all the world could see the Light,and be awakened,maybe this wouldn't be such a bad place to dwell.
This is truly a passionate write of all the things we should grasp,and hold onto.
Angel always...godspeed...joni
