ENEMY
...Take up this weapon and fight, each day:
Go to the closet, close door, and pray...
For this is the enemy:
Savage, ruthless, hideous,
Ripping, tearing, burning,
Clawing, biting, snatching,
Snaring, catching, devouring.
This, the enemy:
Demonic master-warriors
Trained for combat,
Weaned for warfare,
Thirsty for the taste of human soul,
Hungering to slam down death to man,
[spiritual, moral, mental and
yes, physical]
Death like darkness,
Smothering out
All things bright and beautiful,
All things of goodness,
All things of God.
The enemy.
Think Orcs? Aliens? Vampires?
Gargantuan creatures from
Depth of ocean or heights of space?
Invasion? Apocalypse? Terrorists?
Think Jack The Rippers or
Adolph Hitlers or
Bad Politicians or
Global Disasters?
Think wicked world or
fallen flesh or
monstrous media?
Think again!
Crumple up and throw away
all visible images!
Enemy: invisible
untouchable
silent
eternal
immortal
all-powerful and
slithering through history
since the
dawn of creation.
Enemy, Rebel
Dark Angel
Deceiver
Accuser
Supplanter
Truth-twister
Prince of
Hell-flaming death.
Knives to thought-lives,
Bullets to hearts of purity, innocence,
Bombs to countries and governments,
Deceptions to frighten, confuse,
Chemicals to pollute and putrefy all
atmospheres of hope, joy, beauty,
childhood, teenagery,
marriage, family, sunset years
and
every expression of Love.
Enemy, this enemy, reigns from above,
Capturing, imprisoning in fiery tortures below.
He, it, the real monster: Satan!
Concealed in archetype, legend, myth,
religious relic,
Hollywood horror-beast.
Revealed in Ephesian pages: Devil, Demons, Legions
of strategizing upper-rank
commanders, rulers of dark armies
plotting the ultimate destruction
of this planet's reality--the Original Reality.
The enemy is this!
Be afraid? Be very afraid? Actually, no.
Take up this weapon and fight, each day:
Go to the closet, close door, and pray.
