It was another autumn of the poet's meeting An October 13th gathering, as they began they're seating They started the talks of past kings and peasants Suddenly the poets felt an evil presence Then the floor opened in a fire burst When a demon arose with an awful thirst With the stench of death on this blackest night To battle in rhyme for souls to fight His pitch black eyes like a bottomless hole Stare into your mind draining your soul He says, "If you don't mind" "I'll rhyme you a poem so fine" "And all of your souls will become mine" Then he sat down to write his first line Right then came a blinding flash of Light Appeared the Prince of Peace saying "Not quite" "I except your challenge you know me" "I'm the Saviour I'll set these souls free" "Because a good soul can see the Light is the way" "Everlasting life for these souls that's all I'll say" Then the Devil wrote down another line for his poem And said," When that clock strikes three" " We shall see" "These souls are mine, not to roam free" "With me is where they'll be" Then the Devil just grinned And smiled in sin Just then the Lord he pulled up his pants And held out his arms and danced As he began to speak in words like a song "I know you're way is wrong" "I'm the Light to show them the way" "And no matter what you say" "They will live forever with me" "Happy and free" "They will have faith that's all OK" Just then flames surrounded the room With a tremendous explosion and boom The Devil had finished his rhyme The clock stroked three as he yelled "Your out of time" "I have my rhyme, these souls are mine" "I'll take what's mine you'll see" "And I'll never let these souls go free" Well the poets began to frown Terrified that they were going down As the room begins to burn Satan screams "He'll never learn" With the emptiest holes for eyes Swallowing souls with his lies Then the flames did rise And in the fires the poets could hear distant cries Hell is this place if faith ever dies But a wind began to twirl In a mighty force of a whirl "It's the Holy Ghost" The poets did boast Which took away their doubt Blowing Hell's fire out Pure white light filled the room The Lords lightening bolt to stop their doom Then Jesus stood tall And said, "I will save all" "Don't be afraid with me your saved, Lucifer is the one to fall" Then the Devil he said, "It's time" "I'm ready to do my rhyme" "And swallow these souls, they're mine" "Now here's what I have to say" _________________________________________________ You can live in a life so rich Fast cars and money and fame Just beautiful women, no bitc* Just ask for me by my name I'll give you what ever you wish The best clothes is what you'll wear You will eat the most expensive dish What ever you want ask and I'm there So prick your finger for some blood And sign this contract right now Noah's boat's got no room to save you from the flood Now you're in, just sell your soul you know how ___________________________________________________ Well , Jesus fell to his knees and let out cries "STOP right there he's tricking you with lies" Then stood on his feet and said, "BEHOLD" "Feel my warmth haven't you notice Satan is cold" "I'm the Light, listen to what I have to say" "For everlasting life take my hand, let me show you the way" "But now is the time" "To show my rhyme" "Just believe in what I say" "I'm the Prince of Poetry to lead the way" ___________________________________________ I give you this earth of land and sea The sun and the stars and all that's free Birds of beauty that sing and fly A world of wonders to make you sigh Beautiful flowers with pollinating insects Just the real thing not any make believe effects Bright sunny days and the pouring rain True emotions of love and pain I gave my life to save your soul Have faith in the me make it your goal Sweet passionate poets silence this strife Spend eternity with me in everlasting life ____________________________________________ Shouting and whistles the poets did cheer Their faith in God took away their fear Songs and dancing began to start Singing for the Lords love never to part Well all was good in this time and place Given from the hand of God and all his grace But just as the poets began to feel great LurkIng in the shadows was Satan to steal their fate He said with a deep cold voice "You might have won this score" "But there's no way in Hell that I won't be back for more" Then Jesus rose opening his arms up wide And said to the poets "Just keep faith inside" [This message has been edited by insect (edited 10-09-2000).] |

"I give you this earth of land and sea The sun and the stars and all that's free Birds of beauty that sing and fly A world of wonders to make you sigh" Bravo Insect! A wonderful story of good vs. evil, and performed with such poetic style! Well done!  Best wishes, /Kit |

Insect~ This is an absolutely brilliant piece of work. And I say WORK ... because neither the write nor the formatting could have been easy to pull off and yet you did both with excellence. I'm most impressed. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Insect-- this ROCKED! loved the rhyme, the format, the message. Loved the whole darn thing in fact. Truly an inspirational piece, and a lovely tribute to our Lord and Savior above. Take care. Amy "The head learns knew things, but the heart forever more practices old experiences" |

Ron K. Fox…Thank you LOL Nice of you to come in and reply. Be careful he may be in the shadows lurking!! "Yes I am here" " Please don't fear" " I'd like to make myself clear" " I don't use pitchforks to win your soul" " But I have the fastest car, here give it a go" " Tell me your problems and I will fix" " Or just give me a call I'm at 666-6666" " It may be busy but just the same" " I'd rather that you'd call me by my real name" " So Passion friend just sign here__________." " Selling your soul is nothing to fear" "Ha! Ha! Ha! Haaa aa a!! (Deep laugh with echo)" Gemini…Thank you I like to read it fast too! I think it's better that way but sometimes I get tongue-tied.
