The ‘Real’ Exorcist
Are you an exorcist?
Yes, I work at the gym.
I teach classes on exercise.
No, I mean one who ousts sin.
Sin in the form of demon possession.
Are you kidding me??
I have never held such a session.
That’s odd. I was referred to thee.
The local pastor said you were the best.
He said you really knew your stuff.
Is his last name Hess?
He is in my exercise class, he puffed.
I think you were confused by his answer.
He thought you were talking about exercise.
I have to get rid of a demon like a cancer.
I don’t need to be doing any exercising.
What exactly does this demon do?
Have you seen “The Exorcist”, then you know.
What!! That kind of stuff is happening to you?
That & a lot more you don’t wanna know.
He picks me up. He lays me down.
He does other things like bend my back.
My golden hair lies on the ground.
I am surprised my neck or back doesn’t crack.
This sounds insane. Have you tried psych help?
Sometimes imagined things can seem real.
How about prayer? Have you asked as you knelt?
I have done it all. They all give the same spiel.
Has anyone witnessed these episodes?
Of course they have. They are scared.
They even filmed it in a slower mode.
It is almost more than they can bare.
Does it only happen at night?
Mostly when I am asleep.
That must really make you uptight.
I would rather be counting sheep.
Have you thought of changing the channel?
What do you mean? Is that a joke?
No, go to sleep with the power of Emmanuel.
Pray He will protect you like other folk.
I haven’t tried that. I think I will.
I hope it works for you.
With God’s armor, it surely will.
I’ll surrender to Him. I’m no fool.
Did it work? I don’t know the answer.
All I know is God can overcome all.
Be it sin or be it sickness like cancer.
Just trust & have faith. Answer His call.—–R. W. Johnson—–(2014)
