In shadowy places he lies in waiting
Waiting for the right time to pounce
Pouncing when you’re most weakened
Weakened by life’s anchors that wear you out
Out-smarted and overpowered, you resist being seized
Seized by a creature that is ghastly yet tempting
Tempting you, entrapping you, controlling you
Controlling you, while uncontrollably laughing
Laughing in victory because he took you down
Down to the depths of hell, where only he belongs
Message:
“Soldiers in Christ, Awake!
Your enemy gains ground
When you are sleeping”

Another good poem. Love it. Dark, but uplifting message. Yes, many of us are sleeping while the enemy encamp around us. Some of us don’t care, few of us are awake and working. We would be much more stronger if we stay in the Word and live the Word each day. Arise!!
Beautiful poem, instantly reminds me of the scripture…
“Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” ~ 1 Peter 5:8
We should always remember that the devil is never on vacation, he is always watching and waiting for us to get complacent in our Christian walk.
Love this one too Kaleb!! I agree with JBarry that though it is ‘dark’ there is a clear message to each reader to be very careful that we don’t let our guard down, because as soon as we do, we allow the enemy to sneak in and reek havoc in our lives. I recently wrote a spoke word piece related to this topic. Check it out!
