Evil Messengers Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Evil sits silently upon the throne of sin, sending out
human messengers steeped in decadence, looking to strip
the good of all that is God's.

Evil sits in darkened waiting, letting it's shadows of
sin overtake the goodness within, always standing in the
darkness.

A sinful messenger of evil lies in wait to rape a woman
of God, filled with it's own sense of pleasure and im-
portance.

Sinful ways are brought to bear unknowingly on loving
women, stalking nightly, one loved by God, evil awaits
it's moment to pounce, baring a heavenly soul to sin.

Never once realizing that what it does belongs only to
him, he falsely sets the blame upon the shoulders of a
woman.

Feeling the dirtiness of the evil one, falling herself,
into the pits of hell because of evil's lust and ego,
losing sight for moments of God's love.

After many years of guilt and shame, coming to Jesus
through a priest who has brought to bear that she is
not the one who has sinned.

Her ignorance of evil ways is brought into focus very
clearly by a priest, giving her the courage she so
badly needs to walk unfalteringly in life again.

This woman lives on, waiting for the day that she will
be with God in heaven, for now living behind the convent
doors as a nun.
