The Father of Lies

The Father of Lies

His temps are alluring

While abhorring the good

Diverting your attention

Distracting you as he could

Demoralizing your morals

Abolishing all your beliefs

Trashing most of your relations

And destroying all of your dreams

Sowing greed into your heart

Causing you to become selfish

He plants all of the wrong traits

The seed of evil shall be nourished

Leaving you to feel abandoned

Blaming all but yourself

Causing friends and family to turn their backs

So there's no one there to help

In a symphony of illusions

And a concert of entrapping binds

The Dark Prince will conduct

He's the Father of Lies!

About the Creator

Thomas F

I was shot in the face at point blank range with a double barrel 12 gage during an strong arm robbery that quickly turned into an Attempted Murder. Although I'm missing my right eye and a bullet in my brain. I AM STILL ME & I AM STILL HERE
