The Satan is in the System

Tristan Robert Lange

Evil comes not in horror packages—
Made up obviously repulsive—
Primed to scare people away;
Instead, it perniciously portrays
Righteousness—always self-signed.
Evil is the aggrandizement of ego.
 
                                   O woe!
We pass off our sins as salvific and force Satanic ultimatums.
                                       God sees.
 
the wicked worship evil systems—true
they hide behind religion and run from
all expressions of truth—ban and stop
any who speak—ignore the alibi
and deem any who hold to truth the traitor
not just nations—the Church reflects empire

    Tristan am I deceived of does the form represent an S? Maybe I look too closely. Regardless it splits the two verses and evil and good are split and in a form mirror images. So true the message all scams represent themselves as legitimate and in your best interest. Well done my friend
