Evil-

Do you think that you can escape me? Escape me, evil? Ha! You can’t.
I’m always there.

So, you think you can escape my grasp? Don’t even think about it.
I will always be there, in your mind, in your head.
You know the place.

You face your fears; I will help you run and hide for years.
I will be there.

You work hard to be faithful and good; I will help you play and get away from it all.
I will be there.

You love and believe in God and in fate; I will help you hate.
I will be there.

You laugh and you cry; I will help you die.
I will be there.

You hope and you dream; I spread gloom, doom and make you scream.
I will be there.

I am with you day and night through time and space; I will be with you.
You know the place.

My response to evil: You can try, but I have God on my side. I feel the pull between good and evil every day. Read the news, watch TV, see it in our own churches-evil is there; we must keep the faith. But, don’t forget that evil is real and with us. We must reaffirm our commitment to God on a daily basis to word off the evil one. God is there and will prevail. Don’t give up hope. God is good!
