- * GIVE BACK THE DEVILS DUE * - <br /> <br />So quickly we forget <br />the lessons we did learn, <br />And for the sad and worldly things <br />We begin to yearn. <br /> <br />We walk beside the evil <br />that engulfs our very soul <br />And unleash the demons' lurking <br />And we're loosing all control. <br /> <br />The mad man of our minds <br />Entice these things unseen <br />Twisting and cajoling <br />Our intentions to demean. <br /> <br />Our tempers flair like forest fires <br />Blazing ore the land <br />No buckets and no battlements <br />For we must take a stand <br /> <br />To Praise Him or to turn our backs <br />On all that's good in life <br />I ask you Lord to take away <br />This misery and this strife <br /> <br />Return to us the pleasantness <br />that comes from loving You <br />and give Satan back his yearnings <br />-Give back the devils due- <br /> <br />Author: Carolyn Ford Witt <br />Ms. Caroline <br />© 10-30-05<br /><br />Carolyn Ford Witt<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/give-back-the-devils-due/
