I have walked the streets of life
And observed the ways of men,
I have measured their deeds,
And I wonder why the evil smile!
I discovered that the face of evil
Is beautiful and attracts vile:
It glitters like a python,
It walks nude like a prostitute,
It makes the murderer click
It makes the robber party,
It makes the adulterer erect,
It makes the covetous scheme,
And appeals to the sinner.
I know why the evil stray
And so the vilest of men pray:
'Open my eyes to the hidden treasure
Secure me from the secured enclosure
And bless the loot of my hand
For evil is mouth watering and grand,
As it smiles it calls irresistibly
And my fulfillment is in its commission.'
