Good And Evil
In this world in which we’re living, there is one thing that’s very clear:
There are two distinct forces at work, and both, are everywhere.
Yes, two supernatural powers locked in a great battle, and,
Both are wrestling for the hearts and minds of all throughout each land.
Thus, those things we choose to say and do — one of these two forces — will reveal,
That is, will show which one’s propelling us, hauling us in on its reel.
There is no in-between — it will be one force or the other — thus,
Either the good force, or the evil force, will triumph over us.
One’s a controller, the other a motivator, one’s wrong, one’s right,
One is weakness, error, darkness, and the other, strength, truth, and light.
Yes, one is evil, one is good, and both are seeking the victory,
Though only one force will win, be victorious, ultimately.
And, I might add, logic would suggest that at some point there will be
A day of reckoning, when the good force triumphs universally.
For the good force will , I firmly believe, despite how bad things get,
And should I be right, and cling to good, I’ll have no cause for regret.
And nor will you, should you cling to good too, living accordingly,
Rather than yielding to evil, and becoming so, invariably.
For as we think, so are we, and as we say and do, so are we too,
Yes, the product of our choice — that is, that right or wrong we pursue.
And what goes around, comes around, hence how people reap what they sow,
Although, not always immediately, but ultimately so.
Yes, one way or another, such comes back to us, invariably,
For we’re dealing with very real forces, not realms of fantasy.
Good and evil — yes, it’s as simple as that, there’s no in-between,
Two forces, both visible via our words and acts, and yet, unseen.
One or the other we unwittingly or consciously embrace,
Until finally one dominates, and in our heart, gains first place.

When Love Will Have The Final Say
When I see love in action — love that’s genuine and true — I just know that there must be a plan for man,
One with the best of intentions, one that’s been awaiting its time — that is, since evil somehow began.
And I’ll keep on believing so, for there’s one thing I’m sure of — LOVE WILL TRIUMPH SOON — and permanently,
But not before we’ve seen the worst of evil, its final push to ensnare all — albeit temporarily.
Yes, I’ll take love’s side any day, for I have seen its fruitage, and thus know of its possibilities,
Unlike evil — a dead-end street — which, when it’s reigning within folk, just acts like a terminal disease,
One that’s contagious, though there is a cure for those who wish to be free of its poisonous infamy,
And that cure is love — unconditional, unadulterated love — for I have seen its potency.
Oh yes, nothing works like love, nothing satisfies more — for love, unlike hate, is balanced and in harmony,
A beautiful holistic tree, bursting with bountiful promises — yes, cheery growth that one can see.
A tree that keeps on giving, no thought for itself, but nourished and fed by its own generosity,
Each one of its flowers leaving a lasting sweetness in the air, one rich in selfless ancestry.
And why I just know that love’s the answer, and that in due season it will deliver, not disappoint,
Unlike evil, which leaves a bitter taste, a cruel legacy — not a home, but some sleazy rundown joint.
Yes, only love knows the way, only love provides hope, purpose and light, a coming solution filled day,
And why I won’t stop believing until that time when love will have the final say, and thus evil slay.
