The roar that scares the feeble hearted man (a villanelle)

The roar that scares the feeble-hearted man
Comes from the jaws of Hell opened wide.
The devil’s words carry his wicked plan.

The grave awaits somewhere down the road
And Satan unleashes with his evil pride
The roar that scares the feeble-hearted man.

The sinner carries such a heavy load.
A choice must be made before the turn of the tide.
The devil’s words carry his wicked plan.

The world takes upon it such an uncaring mode
And Satan announces, as though he’s never tried
The roar that scares the feeble-hearted man.

The Heavens open wide a great abode
To anyone with the Savior at their side.
The devil’s words carry his wicked plan.

The Savior waits with love that does not erode
And the careful hearted don’t allow to be their guide
The roar that scares the feeble-hearted man.
The devil’s words carry his wicked plan.
