*The Presence of Good and Evil*

Some Say Evil Does Not Exist.
That it is Present Only if One Looks for It.
Yet I Know it to Be Real.
In Our Apathy, Ignorance and Denial
It Finds It's Power.
Preying on the Innocent and Unsuspecting.
I see it's Aftermath in the "Broken" Child and Enslaved Spirit.
Yet It Can be Overcome.
We Can Conquer this Force.
To Do So We Must Believe, and
Reach For Spiritual Guidance.
Only Then Can Our Eyes Be Open
To Challenge & Confront it.
The Strong Must Join Hands,
To Bring Forth the Light,
Penetrating the Darkness to
Extinguish It's Power,
Forever.
