The Eve Of Destruction

The love of money is the root of all evil;
or so, it has often been said;
worldwide corruption has led to upheavel;
honor and faith are dead.

The strength of a tree depends on its roots;
a foundation determines what it will bear;
the tree of life was to bear only good fruits;
tho the roots of evil grew there.

Money has become the evil seed;
carrying the weed of corruption;
many demand more than they need;
such is the truth of consumption.

Evil’s roots grow deep within the ground;
our love of money is their foundation;
the blossom of humility is not to be found;
pride is the root of causation.

The showers of truth fall on the garden;
nurturing life is their role;
the weeds of pride seldom seek a pardon;
endangering the life of the soul.

The roots of evil grow deep and wide;
temptation is evil’s flower;
blossoms of evil are filled with pride;
spreading evil’s power.

Money and power are the enemies of truth;
fertilizing temptation’s corruption;
if you have doubt; look around you for proof;
we stand on the eve of destruction.
