Evil

It is the evil one who wants to plant the seed within the family of man
Hoping to destroy, separate and fill it with anger if it can.
The opportunities exist in jealousy, selfishness and anger
To be nourished by fear and bitterness and fed by a stranger.

Evil grows in stubbornness and one-upmanship in the mind
To extend itself by not sharing, caring nor be fair and kind
It has more destructive power than all the military might
With an ugliness that hides itself inside deceit and lofty heights.

It lies only in darkness in order to hide
To sanction its existence it seems to take both sides
Its singular effort is to cloak the light of the human soul
To separate one from another in a family that should be whole.

More often than not it will succeed
This perpetrator who needs to harvest using an evil seed
Without the family we cannot exist alone
Our God would severely punish and we would understand the word; "Atone".

Just as a religion should be sacred and true
God's family also consists of the many and also the few
So in the family of man one should take eternal care
Your God wants the family to stay together and with others be fair.
