Kill the Seed of Evil

Evil is a stubborn weed
People always plant its seed
Viscous are its deeds
On the innocent it feeds

A harmless germ in our mind
A thoughtless thought we can unwind
It can be a temptation to fault find 
But once it clasps it is hard to unbind

Find your herbicide
Fumigate your inside
Where evil always resides
Before it spreads wide

Unthink the thoughts it breeds
Starve the seed with good deeds
Allow your harvest to succeed
And love will be your meed
