Evil flaunts ascendance
Among humankind,
Sows moral turpitude
In heart and mind.
Dares legion of good will
Facing battle royale,
With armies of darkness
In any locale,
To wake divine spark,
Upset applecart,
Gather lost souls and have
A heart-to-heart.
How might one contribute
To said noble goal,
Such quest to make once more
Mankind’s heart whole?
Whether in public square
Or quiet abode,
Raise Cain, but evermore
Take the high road.
Lend might of righteous voice
Forego hateful arm,
For the latter will bring
Collective harm.
Speak up for goodness,
Lifeblood is at stake—
Silence will not a majority make,
