Misjudgment

Good and Evil.

In the heat of the unknown,

Surrounded by fear and pain,

The devil gives out a moan,

Tired of here, to remain.

-

And so one day, wants to leave,

Climbing to see the above,

From the people to retrieve,

Hopefully, a bit of love.

-

But with him, two demons come,

One at every ear.

To advice their rightful king,

Helpful they appear.

-

And so, the devil finds two souls,

Two brothers that fight.

Hate doesn't accomplish goals,

Nor ever make things right.

-

So he tries to intervene,

Demons pull him back.

They are laughing at the scene,

Colorful family, turned black.

-

He comes across a little girl,

Eating from a tree.

The beauty of innocence,

Sets the devil free.

-

But the freedom doesn't last,

Demons become snakes.

Scare the girl, after she falls,

Everything she breaks.

-

And so, on a field he goes,

A lonely man he finds.

Next to him, the devil sits,

Comfort he provides.

-

They sit there, looking at clouds,

But they turn to storm.

The demons grinning with evil,

Happy to perform.

-

In the end, the devil falls,

Thinking, on his knees,

When you're trying to do good,

Evil comes with ease.

-

So the promise he did make,

Promise made with love,

That for everybody's sake,

Never to come back above.

-

In the end, he understood,

And so I ask the people:

How can a person be good,

Influenced by evil?
