Don’t Know (demons)
I don’t know
Why you would give me
such experiences
Surely you could have found
Someone of more uniqueness
An orphan from birth
One of the least of the least
Assuredly you could have
Chosen someone less
Beaten to their knees
Demons are real
Come only your safety to steal
Roaming from another realm
Come to destroy any peace
The first was only a black blob
I suppose from all the darkness
Through the eons he had trod
Speaking Jesus’ name
Was the only way
To end the purpose
for which he came
To bring me only pain
The second attempted to
Look like our God
On a throne he sat
Extended a hand
On this one I slipped,
Trusted
He touched my lips
Next morning, I was sick
The third, well
Looking like a child
Fearful when it smiled
Trying to beguile
Teeth, pointed, razor sharp
After one look
Asked about my written book
In appearance only stark
Shade of black and grey
Only with Jesus’s name
Did it disappear
No longer to terrify
In my ear
Perhaps the most fearful
In appearance of all
A grown man, strong and tall
No color to brighten his blackened visage
I said ‘In the name of
Jesus of Nazareth, begone
Arguing replied, ‘Doesn’t work like that’
Screaming I answered
Oh yes it does,
Repeated Jesus’ name
As before all the others
He left
Running from the light
Of our universe’s Master
To hide from His glory,
His power’s might
Our Prince of Peace
Lover of our souls!
Eternity’s Most Beautiful &
Wonderous Sight!
