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:
Stands 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.
                ***

References:
Luke 18:19(NIV): “Why do you call me good?” 
Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone…”

Romans 3:23(NIV): … “for all have sinned 
and fall short of the glory of God,”
