The Intruder

 

The Intruder

 

a poem by Chris

 

 

 

Your long pointed nose you wedge into  couples

Causing division where ever you go

Motivated by hurt, selfishness and greed

Tearing  asunder  perfect harmony

 

Like a harlot disguised as an orchid

Your pitcher plant snares the unsuspecting

No beautiful thing will you leave untouched

And no holy union escapes the taste of venom’s kiss

 

The rattler is silent and lays in the grass

Watching and waiting is its deadly game

Dripping with honey words that seem to caress the neck

But sting, strike and prick is the trap that it has laid

 

Building up the less confident, with words of inspiration

Planting your acrid seed on suffering soil

Like a twisting vine that grabs the foundation

Crumbling a house that was once made chaste

 

So beware the intruder in your hallowed land

Tolerate not creatures who divide

Take not your eyes off of the horizon

And protect the sanctity of matrimony’s  endowment

Author's Note

Today, I wanted to write a little something about people who cause division or separation in God’s ordained unions. In this sinful age, it seems that marriages are, more than ever, going by the wayside. It is so important to protect the sanctity of marriage and to be obedient to God’s command to stay holy and upright. Here is a warning(from GOD) to people who cause his little ones to stumble; Matthew 18:6 “But, whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.” A warning I would truly heed.

The words are wise in this poem.
"Take not your eyes off of the horizon
And protect the sanctity of matrimony’s endowment"
Some people can't stand to see people happy and content. Good to find people with hope and love in their heart. Thank you for the amazing poem.
