Snaky thinking says:
“If it looks tasty, try it,”
And asks us the question,
“Did God really say not to eat it?”
But choice without conscience
(God’s truth in our heart),
And self-steps without obedience
(Based solely on own
Desires, feelings, and knowledge)
Open our free will
To the deceptive appeal
Of the evil influence
Of the slivering snake
That prowls around
In the garden of our mind
To paint ball God’s inner image
With the despairing colors
Of death and distortion
That separate us
From the Source real life.

I love the word pictures. You make an excellent point there.
Thanks, Marcus!
