The Enemy Within
by
J ohnny R ichey
I have been around since the beginning o f time. I was here when man
was created. I was created too. I ’ m a little older than most. I was angry at
the Creator’ s creation and I ’m angry with you Because o f my anger, I was
put out. I have caused many to jin , many to die, and many to k ill. It is what
I love. I am in those who are proud, those who cheat and steal, and those who
sell drugs. I need to shed blood, I hunger for sin. I'm what you are becoming.
I w ill fight for you until I ’m judged. I don’ t have long to be w ith you, I must
leave but you can come, come with me.
I w ill give you all that you desire, fine cars, beautiful homes, and
money. A ll o f this is yours i f you w ill come w ith me. I offer you the world
for your soul ify o u want what I want. I ’ m your Father i f you believe in me,
worship me. and all that I give you. For I am w ith you. Even death w ill not
part us, for I w ill be with you. I ’m the enemy within.
