’Twas all those years ago, when I was young,
Y’all taught me to fear my soul is his prize,
That Satan prowls around where art is strung.
“Don’t role play, don’t conjure up Satan’s spies,”
You’d say those things with a serious face,
No TV where men had all the power,
Because He-Man is to God a disgrace,
Stealing souls for Satan to deflower.
Yet, here you are today liking orange
As the new red, one who has never bled
But from the ear, spewing fear—makes me cringe—
And you believe everything you are fed.
You all are acting as if you’re manic,
Not far off from your Satanic panic.

A commentary on the political times? Nicely disguised and imaged it spews out its message with power
You know it! “Here I stand, I can do no other”…to quote some monk from Protestant history’s past! LOL! Thank you, Soren! I really appreciate the read and the comment. 🙏🖤❤️🖤
I truly feel this in all it's force. Kudos. 🌹
Thank you, Teddy! I am truly glad it delivered! 🙏🖤❤️🖤
I think it is imperative that I take to my bunker as soon as it is fully stocked .. and hide down there awhile where it is thought to be satan proof (please note satan with a small s) .. Hell yeah, down there where I think I'll be pretty safe .. for a while anyway .. I thought orange was the new black by the way .. or maybe that was fake news too .. Neville 🐧👍
I had thought orange was the new black too, but it is evidently fake news, indeed!! Lol! Yes, the bunker, ironically, should be satan proof! Thank you for making me laugh, and as always, thank you for the read and the comment! 🖤❤️🖤🙏
So true. We all are fed crap to devour, and too many will not put in the effort to learn the truth. If Satan exists it is in the hearts of those who fill the crap-trough.
The orange-man leads the way. He cannot exist a day without telling us several lies. He is, in fact Evil incarnate. - Phil A.
Indeed, the lies are truly endless and there is ZERO moral compass there! Chosen, in part, by the “moral majority” who perpetuated the Satanic Panic. Cannot make it up. 😱🤦♂️ Thank you, Phil, for your time and your feedback! 🖤❤️🖤🙏
I'm gonna be terribly depressing - Santa is an anagram of..... argh!! No relation though. Phew! Bit of Luther there, in the other comment?
You know it, my friend! Glad you caught that! Indeed, Santa is…😱 LOL! Thank you so much for reading and commenting! 🖤❤️🖤🙏
Nice thanks for pointing that one out. I am a bit suspicious of the star of David.
Back when fear ruled the day.
Indeed! Thank you for reading and commenting, my friend. 🙏
“Stealing souls for Satan to deflower.”, resonates.
Glad to see you’re still cranking ‘em out!
Indeed! Thank you kind sir! Your read and comment are much appreciated! Glad it resonated! 🙏
in my state, there was a candidate on the ballot named "Lucifer" and I often wonder if it would have been better or worse under him..? Obviously unlikely to win, but a funny prospect
A very funny prospect indeed! Whoever put THAT name on the ballot…I appreciate their humor! Thank you for reading and engaging, friend. 🙏
A powerful, haunting and
thought provoking Sonnet my friend! 😳
Exhilarating awesomeness, 🧑🎄👿
Love the word cringe you picked to go
with orange, great flow and blend!! 👍
I neva coulda thought of that!!! 😃
Terrific penning, loved it!!😍
Best regards ✌️ peace. Thad
Thank you Thad! Yeah, orange sounded so brilliant until I tried rhyming with it! LOL! I am really glad you felt it delivered! Your time and feedback are much appreciated!
good write - and yes, many a time, we tend to believe all that we are fed, especially when young, until the innocence is ripped out.
great work
For sure. Thank you for reading and commenting! Much appreciated! 🙏
