Good and Evil
Good and Evil
The wicked reek of the devil;
“People are naturally good, not evil.”
In their world, God is dead
And Jesus’s death irrelevant.
Beyond the deception of oratory
That invokes susceptibility,
Historical evidence evokes rout.
Man is incorrigible without doubt.
The choice of souls for eternity
Stand between Calvary and uncertainty.
Reality will render precedence
Over conviction or innocence.
Life’s limits are predictable;
Death is inevitable.
The procrastinator shall envy
The forgiven sinner.
