Whenever you answer evil with good
you're doing what you know you should.
And in this way you overcome evil
because what that evil is trying to do
is drag you down to it's level
to make you become just like it,
to respond with flesh and not spirit
and the only escape from a horrible fate
is to respond with the opposite heart -
with love, forgiveness and mercy
(would be smart).

So though my heart knows pain
it will not remain
because like a child
it's too busy running wild
with the delight and joy
that is the daily portion of little boys -
the wonderful glow
of a soul bowed low.....
