Poetry

The life of an addict
is beaten, battered and torn.
Our lives are all broken
and our bodies are all worn.
The ways of the world grab us
with vice-grips of sin.
The devils band of demons
are fighting a war they can't win.
They're on a seek and destroy mission
to steal lives and capture souls.
They're shape-shifters
that will lie, cheat and steal
just to reach their goals.
They will use our addictions
to control us, to guide us,
like puppets on strings.
Our mind wants to break free
but our flesh still craves these things.
We've tried to escape, probably numerous times.
Failing time and time again,
facing consequences of our crimes.
There's only one way
to overcome Satan and his scheme.
Ask Jesus to come and save you
and join the winning team.
