Evil

Why should evil exist at all Surely God would stop it in the call When people can be murdered Or children sexually interfered Is there a force for evil as there is for good Where the devil controls as they could And what do you do with these people Can we change them in their mettle What is it that makes people do evil things Is it just acting on uncontrolled impulses that rings When you look at the Nazis and what they stood for This planning and systematic crime is something to deplore If these people are wired differently from normal It still doesn't explain why God allows it at all With these extremes of human behaviour Surely there is a reason why this should not be succoured. © Paul Warren Poetry
