A price to pay ...

1 Corinthians 10:13 

13 No trial has overtaken you that is not faced by others.

And God is faithful: He will not let you be tried beyond

what you are able to bear, but with the trial will also provide

a way out so that you may be able to endure it.

 

Temptation seems all around

It always is but just now noticed

Strangers preying without sound

To swallow weak and lonely strays

 

A quick hunt, a jump, a kill

The victim helpless on the ground

To be swallowed whole in an instant

with no leftovers to be found

 

Loneliness the price to pay
