Evil takes hold, changing hearts into stone

Evil creeps in the shadows, hiding from the light

Bringing destruction, pain, and endless night

A force that spreads corruption, taking what is pure

Leaving in its wake, a world that’s bleak and obscure

It whispers in the ear, tempting with false lies

Luring unsuspecting souls, with its deceitful guise

It takes the form of greed, anger, and disdain

Stealing happiness, love, and peace from within

Evil takes hold, changing hearts into stone

Breaking down the spirit, until nothing is known

It turns love into hatred, and peace into war

Leaving a path of destruction, that no one can ignore

But there is hope, in a world plagued by this fate

For good will always overcome, what evil creates

With every act of kindness, every act of love

We banish the darkness, and bring back the dove

So let us stand together, with hearts full of grace

Fiercely fighting evil, with a smile on our face

For love and hope, will always win this fight

Bringing an end to the darkness, and the return of light.

"If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never be fulfilled. If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with yourself. Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are.
