Good And Evil Poem by Daniel Trevelyn Joseph

“Struggle between Good and Evil is perpetual,
Does not change.” pronounced T S Eliot.

I ask, Is it that simple?
What is Good?
What is Evil?
Do we really know?

Patriotism is not enough.
It kills, I say,
People on both
Sides of the border.

Profit gets us the goodies;
Also, the waste, the victims
Of development dispossessed,
The dirtied warmed Planet Earth.

And so on: I can go on....wherever I turn,
It is agonizing grey, inextricable mixture
Of Good and Evil, white and black.

Sure, the moral dimension is product
Of human mind for building up society:
But for the individual, for me,
It is simply life is as it is...tatatha.

Life is full of facts,
Lion kills and eats:
Scorpion stings:
Not Good nor Evil.
