Shadows of Deceit

Shadows of Deceit

You acted as the son of man,

the ruler of our land

while Satan’s hoards you galvanised

under your command.

You marshalled them unto war

against the righteous Angel swells

and told the world you brokered peace

while casting wicked, wicked spells!

There can be no excuse on Earth

for such devious behaviour

destroying love, betraying trust

while declaring you as saviour.

Yes, applicable in the Biblical sense and in the human sense. Well penned

[Archangel Gabriel]

Many thanks for your review TLB

Nicely done. I enjoy your work and the entire Biblical inspiration but what I particularly enjoy and appreciate is that it is not beat you over the head religiousity but rather Bible informed imagery which can be literally about the "light bearer" or relating to a modern leader [take your pick].

[Archangel Gabriel]

Thank you Steve for such kind words. And you have judged it about right as it is a commentary on modern events told in pseudo biblical metaphors.

Sounds wicked, like the devil himself!

Wow thats good. Love the rythm and the excellent word choice, it flows beautifully with that dark message. Just one little thing, who the hell is it? ...must we guess?

Thank you Keith. You don't want to know the devil as to speak his name will be your knell of death
