When the layers of your personality you peel off,
You are likely to come across a lot that is dross!
We have to ourselves a darker side,
Which often does its time bide
Before coming every now and then to the fore,
Leading us to despicable ways
That cloud and darken our days!
This darker side often us into the web of evil does suck,
It can land us into inextricable muck,
It can rain ruin and damnation,
It can park us pat in the middle of moral stagnation,
It can be a huge impediment in the way of our salvation!
Even knowing all this, we walk into its insidious trap
Because of temptation it wears the seductive wrap
Before which all talk of right and good seems just crap!
Evil has its own insidious charm,
So too often we embrace it with a wicked delight and without any qualm!
Of the many ironies of life, this is one,
But for many of us it is a deal that is sealed and done!
