Poetry
Watch and pray, entering not to be enticed,
Of a spirit that is willing to be like Christ;
But the flesh is weak that can not endure,
Of the earthly pleasures that try to allure.
This is truer of today than when written,
So much deception luring for to be bitten;
Scams tempt you away from your money,
Promising the moon with milk and honey;
Lustful enticement seducing your emotion,
No longer being separated by any ocean;
Temptations are great you must be strong,
Such tenacity of immunity won’t prolong;
"Resistance is futile!" for the Borg to say,
That is why you must learn how to pray;
Be clay in God’s hands who is the potter,
Surrender to God and let Him be a plotter;
Allow Him give you advice for to decide,
So He can build a fire wall deep inside;
Blocking out the temptations in your life,
That causes all the tribulations and strife.
