Dante's Pitch

All that glitters isn't gold....
The art of seduction is so very old
Insidious, and metaphorically rich
As lovely and sharp as the devil's pitch
Words that make one giddy like fine champagne
Behavior that leads to physical pleasure, but spiritual pain
He's come to me in such an innocuous guise
Cleverly mixing the truth with his lies
Wrapped in a cloak of spiritual beauty
His darker half is doing twice double duty
But he doesn't realize he has underestimated his prey
I may seem easily directed, but I won't be led astray
Be very careful Dante, with all of your snares
You might get caught, yourself, in the scintillating glare
Of your higher consciousness' accusing light
Remember that you function within God's infinite sight
The spirit placed me here to help you choose a higher path
To avoid the consequences of God's considerable wrath...© All Textual Rights Reserved by Kristiana Bennett
