Truth, Evil Exists And Not All Men Pray Ah yes, sad that hell never froze over, all is not Nature's beauty and clover. We fallen creatures, yes we have our way truth, evil exists and not all men pray. Ah yes, we cry our faults are not so bad and bad ones always dwell in other lads. We fallen creatures, yes we have our way truth, evil exists and not all men pray. Ah yes, sins we try to bury with lies, or try to wash away with our false cries. We fallen creatures, yes we have our way truth, evil exists and not all men pray. Ah yes, glowing dawns come and then they go and we walk in blindness, saying we know. We fallen creatures, yes we have our way truth, evil exists and not all men pray. Ah yes, this rightly condemns you and I, as just rewards come in the by and by. We fallen creatures, yes we have our way truth, evil exists and not all men pray. Ah yes, night gives not the cover we think and our lives can fly away in a blink. We fallen creatures, yes we have our way truth, evil exists and not all men pray. Ah yes, sad truth- no man is an island, tho' we each one have been marked with a brand. We fallen creatures, yes we have our way truth, evil exists and not all men pray. Ah yes, we will face the music tis' true and no foolish lies will serve me or you. We fallen creatures, yes we have our way truth, evil exists and not all men pray. Robert J. Lindley, 5-07-2018 (Rhyme, Repetition and Truth)

Like Tom said below my dear friend Robert, evil in humans do exist, but we should never 'tar ourselves with the same brush' - We should never class ourselves as fallen creatures - If we stood up as the righteous we could make a difference and not slink around. That is what is wrong with the world - the majority still slink around and do not speak up...Maria Hugs :)

Thank you my friend. So true, this world punishes those that speak up. And political correctness is one of the tools used to do so, IMHO.

Yes it is a sad truth that evil exists more today than ever has been , I dread watching the news sometimes, a very thought provoking verse Robert.

Thank you my friend. Sad reality is in today's world those that actually actively fight evil are vilified. Humanity is being taught to turn a blind eye to it and that it is no big deal....

Inspired by a dream I had last night or earl;y this morn. One that I remember so vividly. In this dark world, when light shines, one must step into it and accept its blessing. For man's time is brief, a mere blink of the eye, my friends. And TRUTH can never be defeated...
