A Lie Embraced

She was lovely and pure in her prime
 

An unsurpassed beauty of her time

 

Her beauty borne of steadfast truth

 

Looking to God in her days of youth

 

But the Liar crept in, as he’d done before

 

Crooning so sweetly, his foot in the door

 

With a slight mocking tone he planted the seed

 

With her unaware she had started to bleed

 

She has since been falling; now the hour is late

 

She carelessly laughing; not knowing her fate

 

Her eyes will not see; ears will not hear

 

Rebellion her path; touting “no fear”

 

Embracing all madness; demanding her way

 

As the oppressor patiently waits for his day

 

He knows how to capture the mind of a fool

 

Delusion of freedom, a powerful tool

 

To make her believe she has freedom of choice

 

The freedom to stop an opposing voice

 

Freedom to indulge all selfish desire

 

Entitlement promising to take her higher

 

In the drunkenness of delusional gains

 

He binds her slowly with burdensome chains

 

And when the truth comes rushing in

 

With no fight left, the oppressor will win

 

But this oppressor is also delusion impaired

 

And will come to his end for that he has dared

 

To set himself high with insatiable hatred

 

As above the One by whom he was created

Romans 1:25 "Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped

and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever, Amen."
