Soul, in the universe,

Where do you go

To answer questions

That bother you so?

 

Why do men kill

And why do they maim

Without any reason,

Never accept blame,

 

For  things done in darkness

And all through the night?

They lie, steal, and cheat,

And avoid doing right.

 

Why do men lower

Themselves to betray

The ones that love them

And throw trust away?

 

Why do men say

Insults and cruel things

To those who are different

And cause hearts to sting.

 

So many men

End up being bad.

Why focus on things

That make the heart sad?

 

Some men give

Straight from the heart,

And make others glad

Right from the start.

 

Others use words

To bring about peace

And cause evil

To greatly decrease.

 

On this huge earth

It is equally true,

God’s son died

To save me and you.

 

Evil and goodness

Are found side by side.

Evil because of envy and pride,

And goodness where God’s love abides.

Yu/stan/kema.
