The Devil Loves Haste
The Devil Loves Haste
The devil loves haste,
So we should all slow down,
The Lord hates waste
In His part of town...
Satan thrives on noise,
So we should seek out quiet,
We can’t regain our poise
In the middle of a riot...
Lucifer hides in confusion,
We need silence to hear
Our God without intrusion,
His words, holy and clear....
The evil one creates complications,
We must embrace simplicity
To find divine order in creation,
Heavenly peace, not devilish duplicity.
Joseph L. Campanello (c) 2023
