The Devil Came to Church Today

The Devil Came to Church Today

โ€”โ€”The Devil Came to Church Today~~>
ย 
ย 
The devil came to church today, he swooped right through the door.
The Pastor Nevill ran away across the polished floor.
Now face to face with this disgrace, I summoned up the will
to stay in place, and thus erase this demonโ€™s morbid thrill.

ย 
I shall not claim from whence he came; he looked to be from Hell.
A demon sent to Earth to maim; he did his job quite well.
Huge leathery wings, pure terror bringsโ€”Oh yes, this beast can fly!
They beat the sky, those horrid things, I feared we all would die.

ย 
With one swift move the beast disproved most demons moved quite slow.
It snatched my son away from me, I was behooved to show
no Hell spawned thing could best a King, Iโ€™ve faith enough to know.
I pulled my Bible from my breast then bade the beast should go.
ย 
ย 
A Godly man, I raised my hand, invoking Jesus Christ.
โ€œBegone, foul thing, the King of Kings shall never ask thee twice!โ€.
The demon flinched, itโ€™s breathing hitchedโ€”then dropped down to itโ€™s knees.
It was bewitched, mind came unhitched, and soon, my son was free.

ย 
We never speak about the week the devil came to church,
as week to week and month by month, weโ€™ve left it in the lurch.
Should you, dear friend, not make amends, the sound of wings youโ€™ll hear.
Theyโ€™ll spell your end, you cannot winโ€”and live a life of fear.

I hope it wasn't a person this demon, a metaphorical demon maybe? Whoever harms people in churches or mosques is the worst demonic evil I believe. This poem is said in awesome rhyme scheme, the type I find difficult though might try it one day. Kudos.
