Best Good And Evil Poems

We all

Shareholders of good and evil are

Since

This world we share the same

But

Though the dividend of good we rush to cash in

The

Dividend of evil we leave unclaimed 

Hoping

Someone else would show up to

Cash in the blame!

Good,

                  God’s presence in Man

           For safeguarding the divine plan

 Of harmonious collaboration and coexistence

           Which, regrettably, people...

The amount of good and evil

Constant remains

Throughout space and time

There is

No more suffering than good fortune 

No more good fortune than suffering  

In the universe and in the human soul 

This is the law of being,

A constant flux of the two forces

Expression of a single reality in

Perfect balance.



The one cannot exist without the other

Even...

...adapted from 'Mr Pye' by Mervyn Peake


Balding and sprightly, he's filled with 
     bold dreams
to make us all happy and free.
He selects as his target a small 
     Channel Island,
a representative sampling of people 
     just like you and me.

All he wants is...

I am he,  your Lord of heaven above 
I am he,  who gifts you life and love. 
I am my own competitive opposition
I gift you death and cruel acts of precision. 

For I am God,  the sole creator of all
For I am the devil,  to whom my prey will fall. 
I...

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was a tree that was forbidden and both harmful and lethal. A basic command was given to Eve but she disobeyed God and was deceived. Adam came next with a temptation in mind. He ate the fruit and then his life was declined. Sin has entered...

The road is rough 
Even though I may seem tough
My soul purpose and strength comes from above
He showers me with good grace and love, but is it enough?
Guardian angel on my shoulder telling me to turn right,
But ignorance makes you blind to heavens might, the
gates of hell are now in sight
its time to fight
for the...

The tears have stopped flowing now 
As I buried him deeply in the garden  
Amongst the lilacs and jasmine trees 
Where he could breathe their delicious scent 
And their petals could softly caress his skin 

The cinder blocks of disappointment 
Mark his eternally silent grave 
Cold and ascetic against the rich foliage
As if I...

Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil

In the middle of the plush Garden of Eden
the Lord planted His sole but lovely tree, 
and explained to His created beings Adam and Eve
that “This one belongs only to me”.

It didn’t seem too much for God to ask
and for them to obey His plan; 
after all they had...

Step with me onto a boat; we need somewhere to go.
Our destination is not for us to know.
A stiff wind carries us beyond the sight of land
Where all that can be seen; we see from where we stand.
Beware of colored lights; see truth in black and white 
The earth and sea, like life, are true...

Dead, dying, devoid of life, in deathbed of stones*
The trees roots twisted around each pebble and are they
groaning with the want of water, to re-incarnate living.
This forest of a tree* stands tall against life.

Yet nearby is a tree
Green leaves bedeck its branches.
The shell looks like its holding back the decay of time?
Feeding it with the...

To the darker side is the human inclination adherant 
To the evil impulse it is strongly adamant
But what  vile part of anatomy urges it to be so delinquent
What abets his innerself 
to disembark from the lane of good
The fulcrum of his conscience
weighs heavier on the evil side
There are dark shadows on 
the inner realm...

GOOD and EVIL


Lord,
I implore Thee to make me
Understand 
The reason, Good needs so
Much time to construct Thy world of
Righteousness,
While
Evil is granted the power to destroy it 
Just 
In the blink of an eye!
