The Music

The beat the beat,
Thud thud thud
Then it comes the voice the sensual voice.
And I know it has come again.
The Battle begins.
The tightening in my spirit.
My flesh screaming for me to accept it.
The words are meaningless to me.
It is the beat, the beat, the beat.
Then it comes again; the voice.
The battle burns within and I am pulled to the way of acceptance.
The body begins to respond.
I am pulled deeper into the mindset.
Images flash through my mind, things unspeakable.
The beat the beat the beat the beat.
Then the voice comes again
Louder and louder it carries.
Feeding an unseen monster that demands to be fed
The beat the beat the beat.
"FEED ME or you will lose me." The monster commands.
Allow it and I will be satisfied.
"Help me" I cry "Deliver me Father!"
A way out is opened.
The door is open and the light of day is seen in the black abyss
Running as fast as I can from the screaming monster, I pass through the door.
The door slams behind me and I am free of the monster for now.
I know He will return, only just a bit weaker because, I did not feed him.
And I will be just a bit stronger thanks to my Father.

This is a glimpse of the struggle with rock music, it is a struggle in many lives but there is a way out. Jesus is the way. Rock music allows and encourages things to generate in the mind that would not happen normally for a Christian person. Don't feed the monster of the flesh, escape to Jesus
