Good and Bad

Good and bad? yes you can be, but only for just a season,
listen close to my words, I will give you the very reason.

 One bad apple spoils the whole bushel you see,
trying to live both sides will eventually drive you and me.  

  A house divided against it's self can not stand,
good and evil we should never mix, I hope you truly understand.

  For the truth of the whole matter is this I say,
we are either life or death a blessing or cursing on our way
  A double minded person is unstable in every move he makes, it's true,
so don't let good and evil at the same time, take up residency in you!
