Easy Prey

Rating: 5.0


A demon lurks beneath his skin.
Although he looks so innocent.
His purpose is malevolent
to foster sin his sole intent.

Though he may wear a saintly air.
His rosy cheeks and twinkling eyes
his inner wickedness belies
His skill is telling artful lies.

He takes us in so easily
because we do not want to see.
It fills him with unholy glee.
To fool us with smooth sophistry.

Do as you wish, do as you will.
There is no God to punish you
and we accept his words as true
but only because we want to.

He is the father of all lies
and weaves his web of words so well
Encouraging us to rebel
against the rules we know so well

His words appear to set us free
from any fear of punishment
Indulge your sin do not repent.
Pursue a life on pleasure bent.

He leads the innocent astray.
His well pretended piety
conceals his veniality
and we respond obediently.

We sin because we want to sin
It is our choice to break the rules
Although we can pretend he fools
us into becoming his tools.

We know there is a price to pay.
A demon lurks beneath his skin
and we as fools invite him in.
We think to blame him for our sin.

There has to come a quarter day
when all he debts we owe fall due
and we are sadly left to rue
the things we did we shouldn’t do.
