Ignoring The Increase Of Its Presence

In places where evil is kept practiced,
It takes one to find ways...
To ensure it is always distracted.

Approaching evil with righteousness,
Interpreted as giving it empathy...
Will leave one feeding into it.

Being observant to its effects,
Seems to be the best remedy...
In keeping one step ahead of it.

Pretending it does not exist,
Gives evil reason...
To deliver more of it to sit to go undenied.

Evil seems to reside comfortably,
In those places where people try...
Ignoring the increase of its presence.

Approaching evil with righteousness,
Interpreted as giving it empathy...
Will leave one feeding into it,
In those places where evil is kept practiced.
