See No Evil

Utopian dreams of HALCYON days are blind to devilry.
   Where OPULENT wealth with SONOROUS, grandiloquence,are feared by JEALOUSY.
   PENUMBRA casts it's shadow dark, so prying eyes don't see the  Light,
   And DESULTRY whose changing ways, distracts observant eyes.
   EXUBERANT  spirits are deluding, masking minds from clarity.
   CREPUSCULAR, earths twilight night, and eerie shades of dawn,
   Where evil hides in virtues guise, as Faith then Hope and Charity.
   Those VISCERAL feelings deep inside, are lampooned by pasquinades.
   These sarcastic, CYNICAL tirades, arranged by evil to avert, the devil in disguise,
   Who tempts with promises he will not keep, beware, be very wise.
