I've never believed in magic,
I know some magic tricks.
But I know that it's not real,
It's God that knows the fix.
I saw a man,
With a lot of power,
He would have you to believe,
The planets he could devour.
I believe that it's an illusion,
God's not going to let this go.
He knows the man is using witchcraft,
He's trying to make a show.
The man looks up towards heaven,
He sees God at the gate.
He drops the book, gets on his knees,
His face, showing no hate.
God looks down and says to him,
"I'm of second chances.
You can repent and know MY power,
If you give up those witchly dances."

Great job on this piece. You did really well with the flow on this piece and it truly does have clear meaning. Many people do think of witches as bad, but things are not always as they seem. The word "witch" in many countries actually means "wise woman" or "wise one" stemming from olden times when midwives delivered babies and healed the sick. They knew all about herbs and natural medicine and very much believed in the power of divinity's light to help them heal others. Of course like all people, there is good and bad. So some were not so pleasant
I really enjoyed reading this. It it well written and done with great faith and conviction (as it should be) Bravo!
