Evildoers Afoot

Look in the chamberpot
There you will find
Some agent of darkness
The Foul Fiend left behind

The sordid element
The secrets they keep
And the dank crannies
Wherein they do creep

There is no sin so scarlet
That they will not partake
They would pawn their own mothers
For foul pharmacy's sake

Note that these scoundrels
Have fallen from grace
Even beasts of the field
Loath the sight of their face

Hail thee, dear friend!
And be Utmost alert
For drug fueled thieves
Lurk unseen in the dirt

And most of all, Attend!
To safekeep your very life
Madmen in the shadows
Delight in your strife

Yes, indeed...! But how good to know that God is always in charge and he 'allows' good and bad to dwell together(matt 13:24-30), until the time comes when 'He will'...separate them. Until then(ps 27:1-6)...God is our refuge. Thanks, John. Love, Blessings and Faith...
