I don't live in
an area where I have many Trick or Treaters, but as I thought of all the
costumes and the dressing up for trick or treating, my thoughts led to one who
is in disguise all year long. He dishes
at flavorful treats with intensions of pulling people into his deceitful ways.
In Costume
He dresses in fine clothes everywhere he goes,
Only to deceive and thieve.
The finest of costume, he wears, while disbursing his wares;
Worldliness, anger, and lies; things attractive to the eyes.
His dressed-up silky clock;
A sham, a disguise, a screen of smoke, a joke.
No joy, no blessing will be found
When this deceitful fellow is around.
Run, hide! Do not partake of his tasteful prize.
He wants your demise;
Your life, you wandering lonely and alone.
He wants to hear you groan.
He wants your soul!
That is his goal.
Only God can make you whole.
Beware the treats the devil gives;
In him evil truly lives.
