Where One Finds Good, Evil Always Preys!

From the very conception We were born of good and evil - Born from coitus pure and carnal, But born angelic from inception - Or were we just morally neutral? Just as children learn of good, So do they learn of sinful ways. Where one finds good, evil always preys - "It is the ying yang of livelihood", To quote Jenny Palu's phrase. Its the path of least resistance That so oft lures the children near, And into sin which they'll revere. Morals can be such a hinderance! And good's path can be so austere! Evil is the way of the beast - And while man is certainly a mammal, He shouldn't act like an animal! And if he does, let him be fleeced, and Remembered as infernal! An animal must kill to live, And acts carnal instinctually. But this differs from man's folly - Survival is an animal's motive, But man murders demonically! Consider that many murderous men Used violence to right a wrong, And often they are praised in song, At least by there own countrymen! Who share their sense of right and wrong. But while a murderous Saint Is beloved in one nation, Others don't share his sense of salvation! No, they feel the so-called Saint's taint In his godly devastation
