Notes About The Poem

Written for contest on Feb 16 2026 sponsor Anthony Biaanco

Word of God

“Isaiah 5:20
King James Version
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

God is not the author of confusion
His grace His mercy not an illusion 
He is the rock upon solid ground
Where one who is lost can be found

Beware of the world and it’s slippery slopes 
False gods like fast cars offering spiritual dope
That feels good to the flesh yet neglects soul
I’d rather have Jesus than silver and gold

Fear God almighty that you live right
That you do good deeds in this life
No trickery putting bitter for sweet
What’s done in dark all will someday see

Woe to them calling evil good and good evil
Wages of sin are death like times mid evil
For man shall not live by bread alone
But by word of God who sits on throne
