Craft

Abused and battered, used and beguiled...
These words are ones of cliché
Now in a world where I should resent cliché.

But use is what I'm here for.
Abused is what I'll be; battered.
And beguiled not by men, but the snake.

For men as pawns have not the minds
For such intelligent a scheme,
But only the strength to carry it out.

And while the serpent is of craft,
The mighty Hand will strike it down.
For even craft itself is craft of Him.
