The Face of True Evil

And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.   2 Corinthians 11:14-15

‘Please allow me to introduce myself, I’m a man of wealth and taste, I've been around for a long, long year, stole many a man’s soul and faith,’ – Rolling Stones, Sympathy for the Devil

true evil has no face,

it shifts and moves,

swaying back and forth,

like grains of desert sand

in a gently blowing wind,

quietly infiltrating its way

into minds and souls,

entering high and mighty places,

enticing and alluring;

irresistible;

it is the ultimate chameleon,

making changes so subtle they

are barely perceptible,

deceiving in the name of innocence,

taking shape without worry or care,

disappearing like magic into

the thin night air;

yes,

true evil has no face,

it goes by many names;

eminent domain,

manifest destiny,

god and country,

true religion,

the chosen race,

national pride,

the final solution,

genocide;

to name a few;

and when it has

come and gone,

only a few even realize

it has passed their way

at all.
