🪶One came to heal
not just one, but all
One came to steal
just one, created a pall
🪶One came to help teach
him how to sing an old song
One came to leash
keep him where he didn't belong
🪶One came with love
and to make him whole
One came to shove
him back down the dark hole
🪶One gave him choice
with a future so bright
One used their voice
to trigger with their plight
🪶One obeys our God
and goes where he's been asked
One mocks our God
but pretends belief, adroitly masked
🪶One leads to Light
and a future of Life
One leads to Dark
and a future of Strife
🪶One brings blessings
and everything good
One brings messings
and a strong falsehood
+++
Spiritual battle
is not always unseen
Here two swords rattle
between clean and unclean
+++
Sword of Truth
against sword of Lies
one authenticity
one a clear guise
+++
🪶One conquers the trials
by decoding the mystery
One conquers by the wiles
successfully used through history
+++
🪶One sees God's near victory
and one plays a looping game
🪶One came through mystery
as an answered prayer
One came through history
as an addictive fare
+++
so as you can see
they are not at all the same
Polar
opposites.

Oh wow, this was so deep. Loved your poem so much
Very nice
The rhythm of this one reminded me of a skipping game. Love the contrast of that against the weighty content. 😁
Well-wrought! Yet one is the other and the other the one, for in the planets we forget what we remember in the sun...
