Problems with ‘evil’ (reverse) ‘live’ with problems
Got to live life if you want it now and or later
problems and evil coming at you day and night
ocean depths mountain climbs volcanic crater
fantasy schemes nightmares dreams sunlight
trouble maintaining your equilibrium throughout
push comes to shove digging the dirt some mirth
evil towards none malice towards all in doubt
kindness forgiveness regret for what it’s worth
problems and evil seem to be with us every day
yet so is goodness mercy justice and freedom
inherent in our daily life and some of us pray
depends on the human we choose to become
as between the immensities of birth and death
we stumble and savor life with every breath.
