The Cosmic Conflict

The cosmic conflict rages on with battle lines distinctly drawn. The good on one side is arrayed Evil on the other parade. Two forces battle for man’s mind One to set free, and one to bind. The good fights with means that are clean While evil uses any means. Within each mind the fight goes on It starts the very day we’re born. The evil side we’re prone to choose So, most, the fight with evil lose. Man was made for kinship with God The evil side won him by fraud. Friendship with God at first did sprout Until evil injected doubt. When evil yields its baleful fruit The evil side blames God as brute. Man’s blinded mind, thus harsher grows ‘Gainst God from whom, only good flows. The crimes that blight man’s lofty dreams and ruins his utopian schemes reveal the nature of the fight and makes him yearn for truth and right. These virtues men will never find While evil holds sway in their mind. It's time men cease to play the fool, Reject evil and let God rule.
