Good things to those who do not heed, The words of darkness but are freed, To the infinite light. Not on the road of evil, nor in the seat of shame, But the best of life is for belief in His name, Meditation day and night. A tree that's firmly rooted, on the river's border, A living infinity of diligent labor, of order, This is the good. Dark ones are not so, flowing like chaff in the wind, They will not stand when judged, those that sinned, Before assemblies of saints. He knows the way of good, our Lord and master, And as through His great power, The Dark perishes faster, The Dark will be no more.

The Good and Evil
Good things to those who do not heed, The words of darkness but are freed, To the infinite light. Not on the road of evil, nor in the seat of shame, But the best of life is for belief in His name, Meditation day and night. A tree that's firmly rooted, on the river's border, A living infinity of diligent labor, of order, This is the good. Dark ones are not so, flowing like chaff in the wind, They will not stand when judged, those that sinned, Before assemblies of saints. He knows the way of good, our Lord and master, And as through His great power, The Dark perishes faster, The Dark will be no more.
A poem based on Psalm 1 in the Bible. A psalm was an ancient Hebrew poem so I figured I'd make a modern one.
