Isaiah 5:20

Specious logic may label evil as good
but for those who live by animal instinct,
living not path of truth, even if they should,
are they to be judged, if they are not love inked,
because of which God’s laws are not understood,
since their head is not as yet with their heart linked?
Know oh hermit, darkness always yields to light,
when truth of being is beheld with clear sight.

Ah yes, thank you, Andrea. God dwells in all forms and so evil is but temporary misalignment from the truth impulse, easily corrected by infusion of unconditional love.
