Looking through the peephole

Evil appears, even when things are good.

Its shape can be human, physical or virtual.

It knocks on the door with unclean spirits.

Use the peephole before you open the door.

This might save your life, don’t let it in.

Fear can overtake you-love casts out fear.

Perceived threats, sparked by memories and 

poor choice in days gone by, are lies 

propagated by those who wish to dominate

and destroy anything good.

Look straight ahead, avoid the traps 

set by the enemy of your soul; 

pride and arrogance corrupt the spirit.

Don’t let flattery distract you, lead you 

down the path with no way back.

Everyone has choices; make yours carefully 

as you navigate through the fog. 

it’s okay to rest, reflect on your next step.

Your past doesn’t define you, 

you can change your mind at any time.

The scoundrel lies in wait for the vulnerable, 

hoping to rob them of everything.

In a nutshell, he steals, kills and destroys, 

but only with the victim’s consent. He counts 

on an invitation of sorts-don’t give it.
