ONE MORE PLOY . . .
In-your-face sin,
self-gratification,
a perverse generation
endorsing fornication
right before our eyes.
Promoted to the masses
through modern technology,
a constant barrage coming at us
through the television . . .
the internet . . .
the movies.
At my computer today
I can't get away . . .
I'm accosted continually
by a looping news item
of two famous lesbians,
smiling and tenderly kissing . . .
a visual display
saying this is okay,
it’s a new day we’re living in . . .
and if we tell you enough
and show you enough
perhaps one day you will give in . . .
or better yet . . .
we will conquer your children.
Can you see the ploy . . .
do you hear the hiss . . .
of Satan?
Innocent though it seems,
a simple picture on the screen . . .
is one more ploy
to steal, kill, destroy
you and your children.
