Beauty Doth Deceive Poem by Edmundo Farolan

"The devil hath the power to assume a pleasing shape." (Hamlet, II,2)

Thus sayeth Hamlet.
'Tis beauty
Or deceived beauty
That one must decipher,

For 'tis only God's grace
Through the Holy Spirit
That we can discern shapes good
Or bad.

Prayer doth lead the way
To spiritual awakenings,
And only the saints
Can intercede and guide us.

Pray thus to the Lord
To let His angels
Guide and guard us
From life's deceptions!
