Not lying outright
is far from the truth
Hesitance vacuous
barren of fruit
What never gets said
deceitfulness hides
Stalking and preying
while buried inside
The pulpit a soapbox
lectern a mask
Pontification
deceptions bombast
Wittingly fervent
the devil subverts
False implication
—the ultimate hurt

Dear Kurt,
An impressive piece of writing.
Letting our guard down is dangerous. Beware of the devil’s many devices/tools with which he attempts to influence us.
They are disguised in many forms.
Pay attention to that
‘devil at your heels’
as my wise Mom would caution.
Laura 🌻
Sage advice. Thanks Laura.
My pleasure.🤗
Nice words Kurt.
Thanks so much.
