Evil Is Righteous

Evil is righteous 
Good is foolish
That’s what they say
That’s what I witness everyday 
We praise justice
Yet we slay it per diem
We praise order 
Yet we break it per diem
We praise equality
Yet we segregate 
We are our greatest enemy
Yet we claim sanity 
What world are we left with?
What are we to leave behind?
A generation funded with hate
With misfortune and bad deeds
What have we done? 
To a stunning Earth 
Ruined it with humans 
Claiming humanity
What have we done?
What we have to say?
Other than destruction 
And more acts of hate

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
