The serpent and the Devil

The serpent is the Devil's minion
always at his beck and call
He stings whoever Devil wishes to lure
into his evil lap
Yet the saints are free from his evil grip
guided by the Angels
Temptation doesn't strike them
if they have Love within
But those are the unlucky ones
who have fear within
Fear attracts evil
like honey attracts the bee
Only the poor fool is not aware
that to fear is a sin
When Light shines through the sinner
it drives away the fear
The Devil is pushed back into his lair
waiting there for another opportunity
Waiting, waiting for man to fall
and lose grip on his soul
The devil's fire can touch no Angel
nor those whom they protect
Walk in the abode of your Guardian Angel
and dispell fear from within
The Angels are nearer than the Devil
yet man fears Devil more than he loves the Angel
