THE TEMPTER IS SERPENT

 

The tempter he was jealous

For he had no Warrior Bride.

Tried to figure out

How to get her by his side.

The sword that She carried

Was said to be the word.

Without the sword of justice

His word would not be heard.

The tempter got to thinking

Of what he'd done before.

Thought about an apple

And how to even up the score.

He conjured up some evilness.

Which he does so very well.

Planted another apple tree

For one special clientele.

Now the apples on the tree

Where not grown to kill.

Just to make you go to sleep

So you lose your own freewill.

So he turned into a serpent

As slithery as can be.

Curled up on a branch

Waiting for his bride to be.

Now will His Warrior Bride

Be lead into temptation

Will her faith in the Lord

Be now an obfuscation.

To be continued
