"Holy Combat"

"If you do not,
kneel and pray,
you become the devil's prey.

To stave off,
the armies of the night,
our faith in God,
and His Almighty Might,
is how we are designed,
to spiritually fight.

We as humans,
are so frail,
but as such in,
being the meek,
we find Our Courage,
and True Guidance,
in what Jesus speaks.

Us though as addicts,
have a problem,
with the devil's temptations,
and those of us,
that make it,
to recovery,
finally realize,
through reiteration,
that God is Our Only Salvation.

We are all God's Children,
but us addicts,
ran off into The Wilderness,
found ourselves lost,
as we ran away,
from God, Our Home,
and Lord knows,
for that folly,
we in recovery,
know finally the cost,
of being hardheaded,
and stubborn,
and running away from Him,
that was so so bloody dense,
like jumping into the raging ocean,
without first learning how to swim,
and drugs our only comfort,
a way to escape,
but really they became,
such a tall fence,
an obstruction,
stuck us on stall,
and we continued to use,
and in turn,
continued to fall,
and our pain,
created a wall,
so God's Voice,
was not seen,
in our choices.

We were listening,
to such ungodly voices,
but I hope this poem,
as I kneel down now to pray,
that you,
the reader,
listen deeply,
to what I have to say,
because this knowledge,
is God's Wisdom,
is tried and true,
and can be the difference,
in the death and life of you.
Physically defending,
is a lot easier,
when compared,
to assailants you cannot see.
The devil's armies from hell,
are in your so called friends,
you use with,
so oblivious to them,
but getting high and drunk,
'tis only a well crafted spell.

Now with a glimpse of God's Light,
and the way to fight,
will you stand with me,
in Holy Combat,
to do what God needs,
and is right?"
