You better beware of the cordial man,
The one who extends a friendly hand.
Tho he may smile and give you a grin,
His dark treachery lurks deep within.
He comes off as a cool fast talker,
But he’s really a cruel head walker.
Your very life you need to defend,
Or he’ll just stomp on you in the end.
Beware of that man’s corporate greed,
Making money is his only true creed.
Playing you good is his ultimate goal,
He’ll convince you to sell your soul.
Not a word of his you should ever hear,
Tho he whispers sweet lies in your ear.
You need to flee from that wicked man,
Don’t you dare listen to his evil plan.
Although he tries to rattle on and on,
Remember he is just the Devil’s spawn.
You would be smart to quickly walk away,
And not listen to a word he has to say.
But if you let him get inside your head,
That blood sucker will leave you dead.

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.” James 4:1-3, KJV

Someday we shall surely take our rest,
But now is indeed not that day,
The Lord has given us a job to do,
Our first duty is His Will to obey.
There are so many things in this life,
Which strive to keep us from our task,
He gives us Grace to endure the test,
All we really have to do is ask.
Strength for the hour, faith for the day,
It is really such a simple equation,
Just keeping our eyes upon the Lord,
Will result in a grandiose occasion.
