Betwixt

It seems evil flourishes time after time.
Men follow cycles of hate, greed and crime,
mixed in with apathy, jealously, fear.
I’ve wondered the cause but it’s really quite clear.

For the war rages on betwixt Satan and God.
God requires faith in him and here’s what’s odd -
Satan does not require that we believe.
He has an effective gig going ‘twould seem.

He wins by the mere situation he’s got.
He wins whether we… believe in him or not.
