Evil & Good7 Poem by ROGEL FRANCIS SORIOSO

A gun is an object of evil since it was designed to kill the way it should
But in the hands of the Police Force it becomes an element of the good
A drug is an element of the good since it was created for medicinal use
But it becomes an object of evil when it becomes an addiction or abuse
Killing in any manner is evil as written in our Law and our Testament
But it becomes legal in the hands of the Military and Law Enforcement
Lying and cheating are substances of evil since it always promotes deceit or deception
But without its presence the Good and Honest men won't have their righteous conviction
Sometimes desperation drives a man to commit such criminal offense
By not being able to find a decent job to feed his family in his defense
For most criminals are driven by their instinct to survive and live
In a country where the poor is taken for granted we must forgive
For evil thrives wherever there are such oppression and neglect
This is my own understanding of evil after I took time to reflect
The oppression of the poor and the neglect of the needy
A signature work of our leaders who are selfish and greedy
In the absence of evil the shining colors of life would eventually fade into the dark
The beauty and wonder of the light of good would no longer shine without a spark
The robbery and theft that's taking place could not easily be avoided
Especially if the government at hand had not sufficiently provided
Crimes are something that no government could simply eradicate
For crimes are something that some people are trying to imitate
So when crimes catches you at the wrong time and at the wrong place
Just try be polite and just obey so it wont turn into a homicide case
For evil could always be cruel and harsh at the times of desperation
And all of your gadgets and property almost becomes an open invitation
By victimizing almost anyone regardless of gender and age
For these individuals are on a mission of savagery and rage
There is almost no safer place against crimes like theft and robbery
Whether you're in a bus or in your home with your cash and jewelry
The safest thing to do in such events is our own calm understanding
To leave it to our Police force in their investigation and apprehending
For there is no greater amount of cash or property that is worth the gamble
And our life is to precious in taking the risk so we must remain humble
But in the event where we are forced to preserve our own life
Against the possibility of getting killed by a gun or a knife
The best option is to trust our own wits and instincts on how to survive
The idea is to remain verbal in conversation as a distraction to stay alive
There is almost no safe protection against terrorism and shootings
For every such events in history are mostly unexpected and unpredictable
Often causing multiple deaths and dying in the process of those responsible
For the punishment of God could come in so many form, method and shape
And those who boast of power and beauty are punished with murder or rape
For evil could not possibly or necessarily mean that it is wicked, wrong or bad
For if the devil is not the creator then it could simply mean its a creation of God
For getting killed or hurt by any means is just a part of our nature as an animal
As the highest form of animal and losing death in our cycle of life is abnormal
For the purpose of evil or death is renewal and rejuvenation
A part of the daily cycle of life among its many explanation
Of course I do not promote evil but simply saying it could not be extinguished
And the line between evil or good and its characteristics must be distinguished
For when evil brought pain, sorrow and anger to our existence
The good had brought back triumph and victory in great resilience
For evil raises the bar where the good could manifest its goal and intention
The crimes that are taking place gives the good a purpose and obligation
The constant struggle between the two forces brought in changes and a lesson
For we had now become more wiser and comprehensive in our abilities to reason
Evil and good brought a lot of knowledge or understanding of our own reality
About the truth of our existence through our own experience and capability
In improving our Judicial and Law Enforcement system in combating such crimes
By preparedness and anticipation we could lower such events throughout the times
For even evil could surprisingly be turned into something nice and good
Like the man who steals from the rich to feed the poor as Robin Hood
Even the most despicable and horrible acts could be forgiven by the Almighty God
For the means could always be justified by the ends no matter how wrong or bad
