Choosing Addiction – v3

Choosing addiction

when given the power

even after hearing

feeling the Spirit flowing

moving within each of them

So strong is the power

the demons within them

unable, unwilling

to fight, to change

to move from their path

Making choices

ill-conceived, human,

real, lasting consequences,

choices to say yes to the demons

that control their lives
