Evil Has No Address

there is this one fact that i really need to stress
is to let people know that evil has no address

how often have you ever heard people expound 
when something truly horrific occurs in their town
"we had no idea", "we've never seen such in our neighborhood"
"we are a concerned community that is always about doing good"
but what many people can't seem to even comprehend
is that evil does reside in the hearts and minds of men
Aurora, Kenya, Columbine, New Town and so many more
evil decided to take up residence at their backdoor

evil has no address and the world needs to see
that incomprehensible acts of death and destruction can happen in any community
and no matter how many locks you have on your front door
and no matter how careful you plan and take precautions for
evil will creep in and have its wicked way
just remember to keep your mind on Jesus and don't forget to pray
for evil has no address it is all around
just don't be too surprised when it moves to your town
