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...
