What is evil?


Evil, when many imagine it, all they can think of is the darkest night

But I believe that true evil lies in both the brightest days and blackest nights

For the light blinds those who wish to destroy the evil from seeing it

And the evil then point the finger to a person in the dark, 

Leaving them to be forever blamed and shunned by the rest.

Making a new evil grow from the feeling of hate

So those who decide to follow the light blindly

Will find that sometimes the light is cruel

And for who live in the darkness

Will grow to hate those who follow the light

This is the ever eternal conflict that the world must face

For the evil can lie in both the light and the dark

Evil is the one constant in this world

So let us find a way to douse the flames 

With waters so pure that the angels will bath in

And when the flames of hell are put out

We can finally have a world of peace and prosperity
