Spiritual Warfare
Seduction lives on the wicked side of town
Concrete jungle with snakes lurking around
Street jesters forced to don an empty frown
Corporate hacks make deals on holy ground
Human cattle used as labor for the machine
Until artificial intelligence replaces all people
New opportunities lean toward the obscene
Wealthy beasts service him inside his steeple
New age sycophants bow to a demonic god
He’s evil incarnate in the finest designer suit
Built a kingdom with countless acts of fraud
Spiritual warfare’s a seed still producing fruit

Author's Note
Late night musing. Listening to some thrash metal tonight. I'm talking about some, Overkill. This is what happens when I listen to heavy music. Appreciate you.

Thrash always gets me motivated to write and piss people off. Overkill is one great act. Are you into Forbidden, Death Angel, Dark Angel, Nuclear Assault, Exodus, Testament, Suicidal Tendencies and any other late 80's early 90's Thrash?
The poem is wonderful. I can relate, since this is what's always happening in the world with politicians and the filthy rich. Pure scum! That's what they all are.

Endure until the end. With meekness and patience, perseverance of faith. A lot of tests and trials in life are meant for fruit exactly, or spiritual growth. Everything isn't just handed to you, in expectation of perfection - we live in pursuit of the glory of God. Often, every day, we fall short. Some people thrive on this. We most definitely live in trying times, which consumes, and spits people out. Anyway, this is a good poem, in reflecting upon such reality. It is a cataclysmic mess in the world. Soon, it won't be the corporate big wigs that dare to control, but the big wigs that dare to push the button on nuclear annihilation. Anyway, great poem as always. Your form and rhyme are solid, and you elicit quite the thoughtful provocation, at least to me. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, brother. Amen. I sometimes think the big man put me here to contemplate this world, and the decisions made. Not to judge, but observe. I sometimes feel like a scribe. lol. It's tiring sometimes, to be truthful. Glad you liked the write. Spot on analysis my friend. Enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.
