Evilness walks upright among us A predator in the guise of a man His words drip of concern and sweetness But his heart is vile and black It is the young in which he seeks So he may drink deep of their innocence Capturing their spirit while at its peak Leaving but a shell of what once was His toxic touch is born of sickness Justifying his depravity as "Love" He leaves a false sense of righteousness His soul is full of rot and disease His victims are powerless against him They know not what he is inside Until it's too late for them to flee A fruitless battle of the spider and the fly How many countless victims has he left...

"The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost".

For the devil looks no different than...
"The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost".
Horrendously sad, and far too true for far too many innocents.
