Possessed by darkness

Romans 2:6-10 

He will reward each one according to his works: 7 eternal life to those who by perseverance in good works seek glory and honor and immortality, 8 but wrath and anger to those who live in selfish ambition and do not obey the truth but follow unrighteousness. 9 There will be affliction and distress on everyone who does evil, on the Jew first and also the Greek, 10 but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, for the Jew first and also the Greek.

 

Nightmare or dream

 

Waking in the morning ... depravity churning

Where is the Spirit to keep me from this fall?

Possessed by darkness ... justified by reason

Torture then accepted ... as an answer to a call

 

Pedophiles and baby killers lining up in rows

Laughing and entertained ... by their “success” in life

No one wants to stop them ... destruction in their goal

Exporting their filth ... to the soul of a helpless child

 

They travel to Thailand spreading their puke unrestricted

Everything they touch ... at once seems to turn to stone

Suppressing children’s hearts ... leaving them afflicted

In a helpless search for hope ... to die twice all alone

 

My mind set at full speed ... awoke unexpected.

Filthy men did filthy things and invaded my rest

How for goodness sake was I caught unprotected?

Where was the Spirit mine ... why suddenly this test?

 

Thought overpowered me and did not let me go

Like a helpless entity ... evil strangled me

Subconscious had triggered “all sin’s overflow”

A well-dressed man ... an innocent child not to be

 

An offensive situation ... demons here at work

Sacrificing children ... for the lust of the flesh

Here I observed and caught the selfish jerk

I had his judgment in hand... now I knew it best

 

Torture in my mind ... revenge in my heart

Nothing was too much for this guy to suffer

“Justice” now done ... slowly and in part

Awful things wrung ... cries of agony were muffled

 

“Depart from me evil!” My heart screams in pain

I don’t want to be ... a judge of the law

My flesh’s domineering ... time and time again

Until the Spirit’s return ... to set me free from all
