TALE OF GOOD AND EVIL

Come gather round children

I’ll tell you a tale

Of mystical creatures

Behind a black veil

In a land filled with terror

Threat to mankind

Absent of mercy

No peace shall you find

Road filled with fruit trees

Forbidden to eat

Tempting aroma

With taste

Bittersweet

Dark figures lurking

Evil abounds

Spry fleshly pleasures

Vile

Profound

Money abundant

To those who fall prey

Selling their souls

In carnal dismay

Selfish intentions

Love lost to greed

Sulfuric horizon

Hellish indeed

Resistance is vital

To remain truly free

Blessed assurance

Holy decree

With eyes on The Lamb

Our Holy One

His judgment is coming

Nowhere to run

Listen

I pray

Flee now in haste

Defying seduction

Resistance when faced

Crucial decisions

Gut wrenching choice

Shout with the angels

Or silence your voice

The ultimate decision of life or death……..
