God and Satan

How much do God and Satan intermix?
Can love and fornication intertwine?
Does God allow the devil’s bag of tricks,
to give our sins a sense of the divine?

Why does God let my spiritual pain exist
so I in church still mortal sins embrace?
How can God see His Son in Eucharist
become a sacrilege instead of grace?

How can a loving God allow our pain
or let the devil drag some souls to hell?
Unfree, I cannot love or heaven gain,
no choice, no sin, no guilt, no Adam fell.

If You and Satan took my liberty,
You would destroy, Lord, my humanity.
