The Demise of Evil

To steal; to kill; to destroy ; three deathly traits of ‘the evil one’. Nothing to negotiate or discuss; no bomb threats and timelines. The stages and steps to total annihilation had begun, bathed in hate. The evil plot was so manipulative that some of its players were uninformed. There was the element of surprise and the execution of the unthinkable. I have a hope that ‘Evil” shall someday finish last, and meet its demise! We desperately wanted to believe that mortals are inwardly paved with goodness Our hopes took wings with the fall of The Iron Curtain; but that was short lived. We insist that given the right spark, mankind will explode into showers of love flames. However, human history is replete with inhuman conflagrations of massive madness. The quest for freedom is a God infused desire, but forever at war with ruthless haters. I have a hope that “Evil” shall someday finish last, and meet its demise!! It too was a day of infamy causing endless shock and awe around the world Only an evil person or institution would inflict so much pain on the innocent. Evil seeds of fear and brainwashing cause mortals to unleash damnable devastation Strange weapons of war with guided missiles; not remotely, but manually controlled. Were our heads in the sand, denying that ‘evil’ has no concept of togetherness and unity? I have a hope that “Evil” shall someday finish last, and meet its demise!!! Never again was America and the rest of the world to be the same Will mankind ever unite in brotherhood and stop inflicting so much pain? Will tomorrow’s evils that loom ahead make yesterday's evils seem tame? Today’s kings, rulers, and leaders must ‘make the call’ that this is not a game. Only this and God’s mercy can prevent the repeat of using jumbo planes as missiles. I have a hope that “Evil” shall someday finish last, and meet its demise!!!! 07052016 PS Contest, Evil Is Everywhere by Brian Davey
