THE UNSEEN ENEMY

WHY DO YOU TORMENT ME,
WHAT HAVE I DONE TO THEE,
BUT BORN A HUMAN BEING.

I KNEW NOTHING OF THE WARS
THAT EXISTS,
BETWEEN CELESTIAL BEINGS 
AND GOD, THE UNSEEN. 

 BEFORE I FELT EARTH’S MIST
ON MY FRAGILE LIPS,
A DARK AND WATERY COCOON 
WERE MY HEARTBEATS DOMAIN.

BUT NINE MONTHS 
OF INCUBATED DARKNESS,
DID NOT SUFFICED..

AS YOU CONTINUE TO INFLECT
PAIN, SUFFERINGS, AND SICKNESS,
ON MY MORTAL LIFE.

I AM NO MATCH FOR YOU,
WHO ARE A MILLION TIMES STRONGER 
THAN MY FAITHLESS PRAYERS.

YET I HOPE AND PRAY 
FOR BETTER DAYS,
AS I TROD EARTHS FACE,
WHERE Demonic forces
SEEK MY LIFE, TO BE ERASED.

WILFORD BARKER.
