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.
