Evil's Easy
Why's it so easy to do evil? Even idleness succeeds,
Like a tilled land left alone is overruled by weeds.
And as an open house is soon infested with insects,
So an open home is soon bested as jealousy infects.
Lies chase our first words, like a lion to his prey,
Purity yields to pollution, like the stream on its way.
This school of darkness we’re in has no teachers or lessons,
Just graduated students who are refused a convalescence.
~Poet of Ephraim
