Never dare the devil.
Say to him "catch me if you can"
And he will creep up on you
When you least expect it
Except he won't look him
But rather in God like guise.

He will not only seek to destroy you
He will tear apart your Godly connection
Rob your spiritual fulfilment
Lure you away
Take you astray
And slowly start killing you.

You won't die immediately
You will first stop combing your hair
Your clothes will go unironed
Your teeth brushed but barely
This is how he slowly summons.

Then you will stop looking forward
To all that tomorrow brings
You will smoke till your lungs can take no more
You will inhale all the toxins in.

You will start hoping for conditions
For cancer, lupus and aids
You will want a reason to let go of life
Walk into traffic when the light is green bright.

You will wake up late
Or not go to work at all
And even when you make it
Look vacant and small.

You'll pray without believing
You'll look to God with doubt
This is not what the Lord has promised..
But where are his promises now?

People will say "just fight it"
And you know very well this is a must
But how can you fight the almighties
Like God bet over Job. It is not just.
