My friend David, how did it go? Are you the mayor to be? Hope so! Thank you. To see my poems go to "Poems by Demetrios Trifiatis. Over the list of my poems there is a little parallelogram and beside it writes: search my poems. You write Democracy inside the parallelogram and then you click on the search and it will come out! Thank you!

- Do you mean that human evil power - is greater than the power of the word of God ?- (Maybe I do not understand this line, sorry for the question) - Many as you mention .... brutal evil with devil's tongue - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

NOTHING IS ABOVE GOD, my dearest Anne-Lise! All is done according to HIS will! Now, God, for some reason, seems to allow evil to exist in Man but doesn't let it run wild. You know that the fear of death makes many people to be better human beings but imagine if this fear didn't exist because of people were immortal. What would happen then? What would be there to stop them become pure evil? By making Man mortal God limits the influence of evil!
