Where Evil Lays and Lurks

I can not understand nor comprehend what drives man to strike another down, to lift saber or sword, launch lance or arrow, use pen to scribe poison word or deliver hateful spoken statement, these all aimed for the rule of spirit and mind of human kind.

There is much to say about evil, where it lays and lurks, what gives rise to the darken ways, and the disorder and destruction left strewn about when the deeds are done .

Though evil must surely lurk in the soul of every man, but then when held at bay by what is right, weakened and subdued, it cannot unfold to seek victims to use or abuse.

The question does occur to me and those that seek to know, is evil made or born, which one gives rise to such lurking danger, but once full blown does it really matter whether one or the other, from the boys of Columbine, to the streets of Atlanta and the suburbs of Los Angles, or where tyrants rule in far off lands, the ugliness is just lying there waiting to explode and be exposed.

Evil does lie in many places, those plainly viewed all around or those unseen, passed upon, unheeded and ignored, it is of the latter I am most concerned, those disguised in discolored cloaks of empty platitudes and gloating self righteousness, projective blame the chosen end game.

With absence of rule, without cause or concern, those of evil will stalk, steal and even kill, leaving aftermath of grief and disbelief, guilt and remorse no where to be seen, more victims then on their way to be claimed, evil is such an awful horrid thing.

Unseen and sinister, is the evil lying in the man who states he has it all in hand, claiming to be "found again", but with faith, hope and charity missing from the heart and soul, desperate and fearful, rigid thoughts only of black or white, shades of grays missing from his view, declaring false prophecy abounds, he turns from others who might show the way, hiding in shadows dark, evil then spews freely from unstable inner core.

Evil will grow, rage and ravage when one, two, or more gather to scheme, design, and plan the control of heart and mind, the driving forces of fear and prejudice ride tides to end goal sought, victory can not be claimed where evil has conquered, ruled and laid ruined, only shame should remain.

In lands where democracy is not, evil can be found to root, fester and erupt, in the name of some god or knowledge claimed, unchecked, dictators arise, armies storm, people struggle, fight and die, life and liberty snatched from the unfolding assaultive scene, devastation, despair and dissolution hang heavy in the air.

Yes, it is sure where ever evil lays, lurks, and strikes, people will suffer and hurt, pain and agony the price of such plots, darken bleak skeletons of what was lay scattered and littered across the landscape of mankind, hate and cruelty the legacy to fuel further the fires of destruction.

The forces of evil will surely wither and disappears when man stands and cries aloud, "enough, enough, the madness must be stopped ", from the apocalyptic ruin of evil's run, the promises of virtue, justice and care might then ascend, hate and disorder vanquished from the human scene where evil festers and grows.
