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.

  1. A powerful and thought-provoking poem. The contrast between the image of gentleness and the hidden wolf creates a striking warning about deception and misplaced zeal. 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.
