The Folly Of Doing Nothing

The world is an awful place so much going on so bad it seems it's always been like that looking on it's so very sad But can nothing be done? it's a really awful place wherever one goes about awful testimony of the human race Evil is evident to triumph what a picture this shows of the sinfulness of sin there's one way this goes The real mistake is to do nothing then there's no courage to attack being good men is not enough doing nothing's just so slack It's so full of folly to be doing not a thing show your metal and shine make the call so it rings! (Quote " The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" - Edmund Burke)

Love the message in your verse Gordon, reminds me of the good samaritan, many walked by pretending not to notice. Evil is certainly on the rise, there's never any good news now, it's all doom and gloom. Hope you're keeping well and enjoy your weekend. Tom
