The demons of Hell lurk everywhere,
from them you can not hide,
the Devil will strike you down
so you better have God by your side.
Satan's wrath will fall upon you,
if you open up his door,
the fire in Hell will consume you,
pray to God like you never did before.
The Devil waits till you're not looking,
then he'll sneak right up on you,
he preys on the weak and sickly,
and people whose faith is still new.
The Devil likes to play his games,
to make you lose your mind,
he'll always try and confuse you,
leaving all of your logic behind.
He's a clever one this Devil,
he disguises himself quite well,
he pretends to be a friend of yours,
then lead you straight to Hell.
Each day God is in a battle
He fights the Devil for lost souls,
the battle between good and evil,
it 's a glorious battle to behold.
As God is crowned with all his glory,
His love shall triumph for all mankind,
God will be rejoicing in Heaven,
as the defeated Devil is left behind.

Dynamicly a masterpiece
Great write, I mean "MATERFUL;" thank you! Although, it's said if I (meaning Christ) be lifted up I will draw all men unto me; there is just too much apathy, christian fence-setters, and ignorant ones who need this warning... Bravo..., great job-!

Please Sandy, I beg you, won't you just take a wild guess?
-
Jesus, you're as bad as her. Do you really think there's a Devil?
Oh wait of course you do, your open minded, you're dangerous
because you're bi-sexual. That offers you twice as many chances to catch a great case of sypholus at the next satanic orgy, asshat.

Silly
I'm on the devil's side personally, more fun, more pleasure, no boring church servces. The title of your poem was very deceitful as I thought it was about witchcraft an satanism. Disappointed! -

Great job. no flaw I can find at this point, except for maybe a spiritual issue....hell will never consume, the butning is eternal. But that has nothing to do with the beautiful write you have here.
~~~POO~~~ -
Interesting piece. not my usual genre of poetry and too religious for my taste, but i guess it fits in with the easter season. It is interesting nonetheless. nice work

excellent
Fantastic , brilliant, your rhyming was perfect and the message your getting across is very clear, satan waits on every corner for those who have no faith in our lord.. very well written, loved it

Thank you for the comment. I was in a somber mood and wrote what I thought today. I wasn't even thinking of style or content. Just one of those days where what ever came to my brain went on the paper. Emotions are more inportant sometimes then style or form. Take care and I thank you for the advice. I always appreciate it. Take care Sandy Hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend

I found the meter to be quite choppy, but the message is good from one viewpoint.
I agree with stylewar completely.
As for Horus' question, the Gospel of Thomas records Jesus as saying that Heaven is inside us, and outside us. One could figure Hell would be as well... Take a trip to http://biblebabble.curbjaw.com/ and enjoy some good reading... -

very true. i loved it! keep it up

Very nice work. It is the stone truth that none of us are safe from devils wrath, unless we have God...so true man. Great job on illistrating this.

Hey there Dark, boy it's been a while since we talked. How have you been. How is school going. I do hope all is well with you. Thank you for the nice comment. I was in one of my somber moods and just got over being attacked by Satat. God never lets me down. I have grown so much in my faith since we talked last summer. God bless you andI wish the best for you. Take care, Sandy i

You do know there is no heaven and hell right,or demons or angels.Its all just fairy tales created by bored men who decided to write a book based on there imaginations and what they think is right. Maybe instead of writing common poetry dealing with the fictionous bible you could try more stimulating subjects? Something that appeals to everyone not just the jesus freaks.
-
Great poem I liked the warning you set out here and your rhyme- rather darker than your normal stuff but then I suppose it is about the Devil so it couldn't be all happy Good write, it's just a shame that some people on here fail to (1) Heed your warning and (2) realise this is a poem about God so if they really don't want to be educated, they shouldn't click.
Anyway, that's my rant over
Great write
All the best,
Pozo

Touching
Belief is a very strong emotion...Many people have different beliefs but if the truth was known, they all probably are the same in some aspects....Humans need to believe in something during their lifetime....It gives us hope...where normally there would possibly be none. Who is to say what is right or wrong...as by the time we find out we have left this mortal world...so I say, hang on to your beliefs, they are what makes getting up in the morning worth while

interesting. i think it would have been better a little shorter...but i dont know. as is, a good message. good job with writing this. enjoyed the read.

I mean I hate to even attempt to ask this question, but SANITY and REALITY is forcing me to.
You don't have to give me your answer right away, because I realize you've sold being realistic for faith and sensibility for the talking in tongues to the Holy Ghost, but if Jesus, God, or your magical guardian cherub asked you to venture to guess where Hell was or Heaven was, what would you say?
Seriously enlighten me, I'm not joking in the least. If Africa is east of me, and japan is west of me, and Uranus is in the Milky way, where's Heaven, and Hell? -
Thank you my sweet son. You always bring a smile to my face a tear to my eye and a feeling of love in my heart everyday. You are such a caring person. Thank you for encouraging my faith and thank you for promoting my poem. You are so sweet. A million hugs to one in a million. I love you, Sandy

I loved this poem , it had a great message and even though the devil is always lurking in the shadows we have comfort knowing God is always in the light.
-
Thank you so much Annie. I always love your comments. I see alot of non Christians disagree with your wonderful comment. But I wrote it for my own emotions. Someone promoted it for me.
Some people are so childisk and mean. Hope you have a nice Easter. Take care my friend. God Bless you. Sandy

How perfect, Im currently reading Dantes Inferno...it works. Little cliche, but still a good read. so thumbs up, stuff about the great cosmos can't be bad
-
this poem is pretty awesome it sounds really good. somethings not quite right though, i think you should work on its flow a little, although i've got a million poems that don't flow too well, so whatever lol. if you like that kind of poetry you should read The Darkness Consumes Me pt 1 and 2 anyways great job! and keep writing

I was hoping for an interesting read,
and instead I got a sunday school lesson
from someone that can't even form a sentence,
brilliant. I mean is there such a thing
as a Christian that can actually write decent poetry
On this site? -
Thank you so much for the wonderful comment. I so appreciate it. I do hope you are feeling better. Just keep God in your heart and everything will be fine. Take care, Sandy
-
I don't agree with what you are saying here. I don't believe in Satan or God. But I like the illustration you've used and the colors of the font.
Sorry, dude, but that's the only good stuff I can say about your poem.
Cheers. -
Sandy you have really gotten to the core of deception. I love how you have brought out just how decieving the devil is. He does not always look bad and can in fact come to you as a friend. I especially like the point brought out of him disguising himself. It is also written very well and has a smooth flow. For myself, I do not see much "elegant junk" as was commented. God Bless and hugs, Penny

Excellent!
A real nice guy this Devil seems to be
But he's no friend of mine, but pretends it's him I need
So while he wastes his time, and tricks
The Lord above shall give him his kicks
And I don't mean anything sweet of any kind
Just I know he'll be sorry, for messing with man-kind
For we are chosen, we all are loved by the Lord
And when it's time to fry, he'll receive more than the sword
I shall be there to watch him burn, for many lives he destroys
I'll watch from the heaven's above, with all the girls and boys
For Love has lifted me above, and there I'll remain forevermore
And there's room, in Daddy's house, for all he does adore
Great write, Happy Easter to you and yours!

i am so sick of people blaming their mistakes and wrongdoings on the devil, people need to take responsibilty for themselves and their actions.
~Kate -
Hmm, I may not agree with the uber religiousness expressed in the poem, but I understand the sentiment. It is Good Friday after all.
-
so so
this poem is 'ok'...but there's lots of dead space filled with too much 'elegant junk' (the language that sits in between the words that actually communicate powerful imagery/subject matter) here too.
If you ever do a rewrite - consider trimming out the elegant junk (thereby pulling the imagery closer together). IMHO the result could be a very powerful work... -
WOW good going Sandu this piece id ecellent and something very beautiful especially since today is the day Jesus died to protect us from the devil ....wow ...this is really soemthing I like teh way it rhymes and it flows the picture is lovely and ties to it welll.....again you diction is stunning because you are very intelligent but for this piece you used soemthing rather simple and it works because having faith in God is simple but many people dont see it that way ....wonderful work ...THE DARK
-
Love it
I Like this not just like it love it even though it;s a dark poem but realyy telling it -
Wow!! That was really really great! And so true! I think people forget just how easy it is just to be taken away from God. That was great. Good job
-
You talk about one amazing poem!! Sandy, you've done it again!! Your amazing ability to capture the truthness of who satan really is in this poem is simply breath-taking. All the words portrayed in here are exactly who satan is. He comes like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. I loved the picture, boy does that look quite like a fiery pit of hell... Good and wonderful and amazing and spectacular and magnificent write here my friend!! This needs to be read by the whole world!! God Bless You!!
-
excellent!
Sandy, it's so funny I looked at JesusFreak's comment, and I was going to quote the same thing, lol.... "The Pretender" all is great, all is wonderful, and then the anvil falls, strait to Hell... excellent my sweet friend and very powerful!!! I love the picture as well, Wow, this is just amazing! Your page has the feel of luring you into something, but you become tentive, and your words say it all. Very well done Sandy, Excellent! Have a wonderful day, and God bless, Annie

he pretends to be a friend of yours,

God Bless
