"What Satan Knows"
"What Satan Knows"
What Satan knows is this
People want to be tricked
They want to read and eat the names of liars
They want to live liars
They want to breed liars
They want to breathe liars
To know liars
To be liars
People want to be tricked
To believe in anything but truth
They don’t want to know God
On any terms
But their own
They want to show God what they expect
Of Him
People want to be free
They want to mold God
In patterns neatly bound
By worldly measure
What Satan does is laugh
At false prophets
The Joe Smith liars
Who do his work for him
That for some reason
People want to believe
Flying saucer gurus
Third string angels
Of Satan
Preying on empty souls
Spawning disillusioned minds
Oh Lord! I ask You now
To destroy all other gods.
"Epilogue" Prologue
We are not gods
Nor can we ever be
Anything but
God’s creations
If we aspire
To anything
It should be
To his hope for us
Nothing less.
Nothing more
Is needed.
