The Evil Feild

I raise my head early in the morning toward the north
Watching the early morning sun set

The evil of mankind rises with the sun setting

To the North, South, East and west.

The world is surrounded by evil

And the evil dwells in the heart of men

I cried out from the North, for help

I lifted my voice from the South, for rescue

I shouted aloud From the East, for justice

I screamed in pain and agony from the West, for mercy

Brothers Killing brothers to acquire wealth

Sisters killing sisters for the sake of having a good home

Kidnapping of children for rituals

Father rapping daughters for lust of the flesh

Mother’s prostitutes to enjoy the present temporary pleasure of life

Someone to lean on turns out to be someone seeking your life for money rituals

The best of your friends turns out to be the worse of your enemy

I have learn to cry no more, for the evil doer governs the world

I cry no more! I cry no more!! I cry no more!!!
