SEE NO EVIL HEAR NO EVIL SPEAK NO EVIL

SEE NO EVIL, 	HEAR NO EVIL 	SPEAK NO EVIL
I thought I should think only good
I wished I should follow the Mahatma's deed.
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.
As he knew very well
He preached what he practiced
For he knew you can't help thinking evil.
Mahatmaji, with all respect to you
I follow your teaching
I see never, neither hear, nor speak evil.
But can't help thinking evil.
I believe I follow you
When I wish not to think of evil
Evil thoughts come to the devil.
So said a reasonable philosopher
An atheist thinks of God more often than the theist
As he believes in rejecting Him.
Every time he starts thinking to reject Him
He has to think of Him.
So, the atheist thinks of Him very often than the theist.
Oh! Evil! Thou shall have a death.
Evil! Not alone He dies.
I want a change in my mind "Let the evil be eliminated."
I would be good forever.
As good as good could be
But when all good prevails and no evil, 
The world becomes monotonous, droning
And when no evil, only good.
There comes the problem, there is nothing good.
You should have a thing to distinguish
So, you need an evil to make the good exist as good.

Good and Evil, and Good vs. Evil dichotomy needs to be defined. What is evil today may be for tomorrow. And Something which is evil in one place may be the same in other place
