Old tinker's wagon

It's said God works through people.
So does the other guy,
the dark one;
the master of malice and spite.

What makes him so dangerous is this;
he believes in his own scheme of lies.

How is there anything wrong
when he's done so well by his ways ?

He travels by night in his old tinker's wagon
with miracle cures for what ails you.

He'll promise you anything,
especially the moon.
His magical tinctures from near and afar
will treat your most serious ailments.

So he says !

If truth were to be known,
which is not likely to happen;
what's in those exotic decanters
is what he's here to concoct;
the life's blood of innocent souls.

He'll con and woo you with fantastical tales
of the wonders of his mystical potions.

But;

When you wake to the light of the morn,
and you realize just what has been taken,
He'll be packed up and gone like the night
with his prize in that old tinker's wagon.
