Emit No Evil, Live On Time

Emit no evil, hearken!
Men of the underworld
Inflict pain, invite the wrath
Things fall apart, the doom's day looms

Nemesis swings into action
Oust every explosion otherwise...

Emit no evil, hearken!
Vampires of the universe
In a short while, gone the time
Let go of evils, offspring of the devil

Live for humanity
In it abounds ebullience
Vacate every fiendish introspection
Eschew evil, limited time have you here

Over the course of time,
Not again shall your presence remain

Then thy legacy speaks
In every village and municipal
Making such exit agonizing to all souls
Emit no evil, limited time have you here

Dear Adeniji, you truly have your fingers on the pulse of our days and are the scribe that faithfully understands, relates and wrings his hands in anguish at our seeming inability to render change in the paths of those pursuing evil. The path of well being is rutted and all uphill. I hope to meet you there one day to grasp your hand, so we can help each other up, blessed poet.

On our own we can’t overcome our nature. There is a lot to consider within this piece.

Yes, that is the reality. In the end righteousness shall prevail. Thanks, Richard.
