Evil
Evil isn’t always The
Prince of lies
king of corruption
The tempter
evil is the
soldier of obedience
sound of silence
Sickness of secrets
Goodness can’t just be
Thoughts and prayers
Spiritually sending love and hope
Sometimes goodness is
Tough love and
Hard truths
Sometimes it looks like
You accomplished nothing
That you made no ripples
Sometimes
Those ripples turn to waves
That will wash away the evil
Prince of lies
king of corruption
The tempter
evil is the
soldier of obedience
sound of silence
Sickness of secrets
Goodness can’t just be
Thoughts and prayers
Spiritually sending love and hope
Sometimes goodness is
Tough love and
Hard truths
Sometimes it looks like
You accomplished nothing
That you made no ripples
Sometimes
Those ripples turn to waves
That will wash away the evil

"evil is the
soldier of obedience"
That reminds me of those war criminals who plead "We were only following orders" when charged with atrocities, or the contract killer hitman who followed someone's directions.
"Sometimes goodness is
Tough love and
Hard truths"
Yes - it's sometimes hard to prick people's consciences even if they could be destroying themselves by going in wrong directions.
Like, too, the last two, "ripple" verses.
