Exorcism

A Christian poem about doubt and sin

Jesus, the prophet and preacher

the exorcist of evil spirits

I hardly know myself anymore

with this broken Christianity of mine

Though You have taken such good care of me

I'm under influence of the darker side

that's turning the blessings upside-down

pulling them into courses

As if something died inside of me

when this other side won the battle

I'm proclaiming after smiles and joy

that would eat the extra kilo of worry

and purify my tongue

and ultimately my mind 

Oh Messiah, come and exorcise

that I would no longer say bad words

and strengthen Satan by my deeds.

Humiliate the greedy, selfish and depraved

and restore the Holy Ghost that changed me already once.

I've been screaming possessed days and nights.

I've been working towards restoring my moral

but over and over again the darkness overcomes

and turns me ugly by vices

Days have I tried to pray and meditate

but instead of gospel I'm allowing angry music to play

and the devil starts dancing in hell

when he sees that I'm ensnared by substance

and my belly is tempted by expensive restaurants.

You start hating your image

the greed and depravity it reflects.

Before the body and soul were beautified by the Holy Ghost

the positive servant of our Lord Jesus Christ
