Hoodwinked

An Original Work / October 15, 2018

Tricked by masters

Duped by fools

Conned by artists

Using tools

They pull the wool

Over eyes

Always catch folks

By surprise

Clever crafters

Do their tricks

Searching victims

Them to prick

Be on your guard

Prayerfully

Trust in Your Lord

Patiently

Don’t be quick to

Judge the case

How it looks may

Be a maze

Not much is as

It appears

Much, instead, is

“smoke and mirrors”

Diligent, you

Must pursue

What is truth so

Not be fooled

Pray for wisdom

Keep eyes glued

Listen fully

You’ll be clued

Read your Bible

Kneel and pray

Follow Jesus

Every day

Holy Spirit

Will impart

Wisdom needed

From the start

Obey fully

Yield to God

Perform not or

Be a fraud

Hypocrites are

Plentiful

Faithful ones not

Bountiful

Don’t tricks follow

Open eyes

To the truth and

Let Lord guide

He will lead you

In right way

If you follow

Him today

Don’t be duped by

What sounds good

Best to check now

Under hood

Give your life now

Up to Christ

Let him rule now

All your life
