What To Do With Lu

Frustration,consternation,even desperation
Nothing ever as good as it could be. You see,
Lu longs for that ...for both you and for me.
He is prideful and persistent, won't let us be.
We want honey but he gives us the bee.

Every time we try to do something good,
he lets us know we are livin' in his 'hood.So there's
no sense in us even trying to do something right.
He'll argue and actually convince us there is 
no such thing.Nothin' really dark, it's all light.

To him, a circle is square and up is down.
If you let him, he'll dizzy you,spin you round
and round.Yes, he is a wicked ol' man that 
seems to thrive in a bog, or better yet, quick sand
yet always seems to have the upper hand.

He invades our thoughts during the day 
and carresses our dreams at night.
Always toying,always tempting,but
nevertheless, omnipresent.....
sometimes we wish he would just
go fly a kite.

He is so cunning and obnoxiously coy.
So don't get too close or boy oh boy,
he'll attach himself just like a leech.
And he's certainly no day at the beach.

Keep your distance at all cost, it's 
your mind he's  looking to control.
But you give him that, and he'll take 
your soul..... his ultimate goal.

Yes I'm sure you guessed by now that
Lu is short for Lucifer, the most haughty
of all created beings, otherwise know as Satan.
He has a divisive plan for each and every man.
To separate us from God for all eternity.

But God is more than aware of his scheme,
and from the beginning of time, had His own theme.
That is why He sent His Son to die on a cruel tree
bridging the  chasm created in Lucifer's story.
For the innocent and pure blood that was shed,
was instead sufficient to reconcile us to our Creator Friend.
