Consumed by hate, deceit, and lies

The evil within only grows in size

The darkness swells as light fades away

And steals one more soul on this dark gloomy day

The suffering it causes destroys more than a few

The next one it seizes might possibly be you

It shows no remorse, no regret, no sorrow

It only thrives to breed more evil tomorrow  

Though evil is strong, it’s not without rival

Good will struggle for its own survival

The good may start small in the smallest of spaces

But can spread quite far in the farthest of places

One miniature seed is all that it takes

To make the good flourish and take what evil makes

As powerful as a lion that fights like it should

Is the fighter of light and the doer of good

The herald of goodness is a persuasive foe

To the evil within that stirs down below

Embrace what is good and release all the hate

To vanquish the evil before it’s too late.
