Evil and Goodness

Goodness is hiding in every shadowy corner of this world
We must find a way bring it out in the open so that it’s blinding
glare drives evil from our midst. Greed, prejudice, hatred, and
uncaring hearts seem to be ruling the day. These human traits
coupled with ignorance as a common human frailty prevalent
within the masses set the stage for evils continuing reign.  We
must not become victims of our own inaction. To free goodness
from the shadows we must not become complacent and accept
the jeweled falsehoods that evil presents as tokens of its good will.
Be ever vigilant and wait not for the hero amongst us to step forward
and save the day.  For it is the power of our numbers that will ultimately
prevail if collectively we choose the path of equality for all.
