Evil
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
Evil pervades the earth hidden in plain sight..
Darkness now has turned itself into an angel of light...
People are deceived taken in its flow..
From a trickle
To a stream
A river
Flows..
Now dirty water wormwood is its name..
We drink its poison
Buy it we are slain..
Promises that are empty suffer defeat...
Their carcasses
To the birds
Give for
Meat.
Angels sickle
Gathers up
The grapes
Into
His winepress
Of Indignation
This will be
Their fate.
Then the righteous will shine forth in the kingdom of their Father...
And all could be
Forgiven
If we
Tried
A little harder.
