False Prophet

He came in a cloak of gentleness,
He shrugged to mercy while promising bless.
But underneath the sheep soft skin,
A ravenous wolf - waits within.

Cries of scorn spill from the lips,
Calls for heads - and severed finger tips.
In 'holy war' their voices rise,
Oppression burning in their eyes.

Gods true plan, or cunning lies?
A false prophet in disguise.
Test the spirit, search the heart,
Let truth and error stand apart.

For he who strays from Christs own way,
Falls to shadows that betray.

Your words carry a strong moral reflection, reminding readers of the importance of discernment, testing the spirit, and staying true to the path of compassion and truth.

   Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
