To Look the Evil In the Eye

POEM " TO LOOK THE EVIL IN THE EYE " by martin gedge

Fear you not who temps my fate

to fill my heart with all this hate

I don't subscribe to what you seek

or try to sell of that you speak

I am not blind of your accord

of what I truly can't afford

but offer this in hind of sight

that from the highs there shines a light

to keep us pure of thee undo

to stay the hell away from you

with poise in purpose of the soul

to cleanse the filth that rakes the hole

with eyes to see the path to face

to walk the shoes in godly grace

and not look back upon the hill

that sits the dark and spits the pill

onto the sea the burns the cross

for those of weak and tired loss

I have the strength and will defy

to look the evil in the eye

to turn your flesh into the stone

and sit upon the devils throne...
