  • A Demonic Encounter

    Demons came in my windowDuring the nightThey caused meQuite a fright They were uglyGlowing red eyesWith black furThem I really did despise The demons flewAround my bedroomNasty creaturesFull of gloom Blaspheming GodThey spewed profanityI said “The Lord rebuke you!”And they began to flee I dislikeSuch demonic visitationsI will stand on God’s WordNo matter the manifestations…
