Look for strengths in people, not weakness; for good, not evil. Most of us find what we search for.

Why? ? ?

If mercy is going to be perceived,

as weakness, then I must concede,

that I will build an army soon,

that will vacate all evil demons,

I will not abide what has been done to me

nor evil to my family,

and soon those who hurt me will soon regret,

trying to give me their evil debts.

and those who would deceive and smother,

my strengths my family, my sisters and brothers,

will all pay back what they have taken,

and my name will ne'er be forsaken,

Evil 3

Evil
in the hearts of people
in the heads of people
in the soul of people

Evil
will let you drive home drunk
will let you blame yourself hurting others
will let you be alone at times needed most

Evil
cares if bills cant get paid
cares if you over spend
cares if it not them spent on

Evil
looks at you and lies
looks at you and laughs
looks at you and hungers for weakness

Evil
wont piss on you if on fire
wont help you if hurting
wont care if you die

Three kinds
Evil
Eviler
Evilest

You can run
but you cant hide from
Evil

Dr. Evil

Evil, evil is his one and only name
Evil, in his mind there is no other game!
When your name is Evil, that is good or so you think,
but you're so very wrong.
It's evil!
But being wrong is right, so then you're good again,
wich is the evilest thing of all...
Do you find his sudden ways, invite you? does he excite you?
If his contradictions should atract you, should he distract you?
Heaven help you then...
You're finished, it's the end...
There'll be no retrieval...
From the evil...
The evil,
he will
do.
He's evil,
he's Doctor Evil.
His name is Evil.

The Evil I See In Others

The evil I see in others in my own self I see
And the so called evil people are no less evil than me
'Tis not my place to judge others leave the Law take it's course
Than us mere living mortals there is some far greater force.

Look at the power of Nature no greater force than she
She claims all living creatures yet of guilt she is free
None ever say she's evil what's evil anyway?
The words of good and evil just words that people say

About those they see as good or evil others we like to pigeon hole
Have I right to condemn others when there's darkness in my soul
I'm only good and evil come tell me what are you
Since you tell me that you have a God but to your own self are you true?

For a callous act of one individual we condemn an entire race
And people are judged by their postal address and the colour of their face
We talk of love and harmony whilst war we do embrace
By making yourself a better person you'll make the World to live in a better place.

The evil I see in others in my own self I see
But you there Mr Perfect of all sin are you free?
You say that one is evil leave that person alone
You are not one that's free of taint so you should not cast the stone.

It Is as Much a Sin to Not Recognize One's Own Strengths

The Torah teacher taught on Tisha B’Av

‘It is as much a sin to not recognize one’s own strengths
As it is to not attempt to correct one’s weaknesses
The spies refused to see the strengths of the people and the land of Israel
They reported on weaknesses and fears only’

Am I the spy of myself?
And do I do nothing but lament what I am not?
Why don’t I recognize
What I have done and what I can do?

I can after all write another small poem
Even if it means using the wisdom given on our day
Of greatest national tragedy
For my own small good.

Surrender

Act according to the dislike of a bad man and an evil boy
To find in your life what is funny and creative.
Your decision is finally made on the importance and realty,
The body we carry is all you can bury, to do with badness.

The bad men are not the goodness and relief of the Earth,
So they do by the way say they are good, but also bad and evil.
Even good people know how to win, and how much is this.
Feed the one who is yourself, yourself!

I think I'm good at amplifying an actor's strengths, and minimizing their weaknesses. And they all have strengths and weaknesses.

Evil!

Once you were civil
Until desire brought upon evil
For the sake and love of wealth
You hit good people below the belt

Don't you know what I already know?
All substantial material will come and go!

Evil is the enemy and is envious
Evil is vengeful and vicious
Evil is ill, immoral and inauspicious
Evil is loathsome and lawlessly ludicrous

Once you were civil
Until desire brought upon evil
You conceal, steal and kill
To round up your shady deals

I do not wish to intrude
Neither do I wish to be rude
But did you know as you should
That evil will never conquer the good

The World for What it is

Through time I have seen what has happened to me
We have become docile
We sat in a comfortable chair and will not get up
We wear conformity
We eat destruction
We drink our own demise
We the people have been monopolized
We are just another commodity
We are like a horse with blinders on its eyes we see what our master wants us to
We the people have been silenced
We the people are no longer the people
We are the puppet in a play the lyric in a song
We no longer rise
We are tired
I have seen the serpent lurking beneath the flower
I know the truth behind the lie
I am a lone horse with no pack to run with
I search for a home
I fight my comfort
I confront my weaknesses
I humble my strengths
I find that the last free enterprise is coming slowly to an end
I cannot move
I cannot breath
I cannot fight
I am comfort I am conformity I am monopolized I am the people
Through time I see what happens to us.

It Is Not A Reflection Of You

The evil that you experience, feel, how abusive people react to you, their false impressions of you, estimates of you, responses to you, is a reflection of their evil, prejudice, blindness, of their lack of development, it is not a reflection of you, of your abilities, intent, it is not an impression of the impression you make, it is a reflection of them, their limitations and ignorance. Their being distorts good, mocks love, an amplifies weakness, such have, are become, such are fake, superficial enlightenment, unconscious.

Good Lovin' Is Hard To Find

(Gary Rossington, Johnny Van Zant, Ed King, Robert White Johnson)
Every woman's out there lookin' for a rich man
And every man's out there looking for a perfect ten
Can't always get what you want sometimes
So your better off just takin' what you can
Money won't make you happy baby
And a perfect woman son's gonna make you sad
If you think that's where it's at, then I'm telling you, your wrong
Cause you can have it all one day and then it's gone
You can search all of your life, and still not find
What you want, ain't what you've got
Good lovin' so hard to find
Could this be the right place, at the right time
Good lovin', feels so fine
I just can't get enough
Cause good lovin's hard to find,so hard to find
We all need good lovin'
Ain't talkin' about no one night stand
Some have the touch, and others just a hand
But when you find the right one then you'll understand
Can't always get what you want sometimes
So you're better off just takin' what you can
You can search all of your life, and still not find
What you want ain't what you've got
Good lovin' so hard to find
Could this be the right place at the right time
Good lovin' feels so fine
I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough
Some of that good good love
Some of that good good love
Some of that good, good love
Good lovin'
So hard to find
Good lovin'
Make you loose your mind
Good lovin'
Good good love
Good lovin'
Some of that lovin' baby

Good and Evil, Light and Dark

There will be a time.
When good is defeated.
When lights vanish from time
When the sun does not rise to greet the next day
There will be only night
in night there is only darkness
And in darkness there is only evil

There will be a day
When evil dies
When the stars fade away
When the is no moon to light the way
And on this day there will be nothing but mist

In a world without good and evil
There is no reason
There is nothing
But people in the streets trying to find their way home through the mist hiding their way

ME, In Your Eyes

Am I evil? Yes, I am.
I am the one can't be trusted,
I am the one who needs to be busted,
I am the one who causes trouble,
I am the one who has face that is doubled,
Am I evil? Yes, I am.

Am I evil? Yes, I am.
I always plan cunningly,
I always act deceivingly,
I always make you suffer,
I always deserve to face what's tougher,
Am I evil? Yes, I am.

Am I evil? Yes, I am.
I am the one who always ashames you,
I am the one who lacks satisfying you,
I am the one who struggles to be who,
I am the one who is lost in thou,
Am I evil? Yes, I am.

Am I evil? Yes, I am.
I never see good in you,
I never appreciate what you do,
I could never act as you want me to,
I am not as good as you want me to,
Am I evil? Yes, I am.

Am I evil? Yes, I am.
I never bless,
I make you live this freaking mess,
This is the only thing to confess,
I am evil in your pretty eyes…

In every man and every girl

In every man and every girl
there’s a part
of the divine
and a part of darkness
that twists into each other.

Even people who are considered evil,
have got some good
and greatness in them.

Today we cannot understand
how thousands chose to follow Hitler
and how they thought
that there lives would become
still better yet beter
and how he could have been
good and great to them.

What we choose to do
and how we act
and the words that we say,
either displays the traits
of good or evil.

Even if we chase the good
by evil means,
no real good can ever
come from it
and just like real love
good is either really there
or not at all.

Good and Evil

When I was a toddler I found that
What’s bad is evil, what’s good is good
And I don’t have a power to change that

When I was a teenager I found that
What’s bad is evil, what’s good is also evil
And I want a power to fight them all

Now I’m much older I find that
What’s bad is not purely evil, what’s good is not always innocent
And I don’t use a power to fight but my heart

Darkness Lurks

In this hour I stand in fear,
My strengths have befallen me;
The lion's mouth I do hear.

Yet with each step, step rebound,
Come quick O' my victory;
Released, my visions resound.

Chattering O' evil wing,
Perched upon your heights so free;
Stand hence you, O' evil thing.

In midst of evil creatures,
Emotions cry out from me.

In The Garb Of Good

You can easily
Do away with evil
When it comes to you
In the form of an evil
But it is not easy to
Do away with evil
When it comes to you
In the form of good
When it comes to you
In the garb of something good
And you can not recognized
Good and bad or evil
As evil disguised as good
First make yourself free from
Attachment of any kind
And be cautious always
With alert and full-mind.

Good Lovins Hard To Find

(gary rossington, johnnyvan-zant, ed king, robert white johnson)
Every womans out there lookin for a rich man
And every mans out there looking for a perfect ten
Cant always get what you want sometimes
So your better off just takin what you can
Money wont make you happy baby
And a perfect woman sons gonna make you sad
If you think thats where its at, then Im telling you, your wrong
Cause you can have it all one day and then its gone
You can search all of your life, and still not find
What you want, aint what youve got

Good lovin so hard to find

Some have the touch, and others just a hand
But when you find the right one then youll understand
