Prayer the Saving Attribute
The Mother writes that each one of us
Has within a beast ready to pounce
And if we are not conscious and aware
It can attack with devastating force.
By turns it may by violence or stealth,
Or by subtle means lay a lethal trap.
One I know, a psychic and a witch,
Tells me she takes him out now and then
Puts a collar around his neck and says
'Let's go for a walk.' With me he plans
And waits for the smallest opening.
Often in a state of tiredness
Or lack of will, perhaps in ignorance,
He leaps upon the unsuspecting soul,
Wreaks his damage and awaits with glee
Our future weakness and infirmity.
Eternal vigilance the only guard
Against demonic forces in our midst
And prayer the saving attribute of man.
