The Battle of Sinners and Saints

in the fight of good versus evil
it is an never ending war
from the mystic figures of folklore
who some will hold that these are the truths
winged creatures with the faces of angels
and those with the faces of horned demons
some will swear these creatures are real and exist
even to this day
funny how the ones who represent good
have the faces of beauty and are referred to as angels
while the ones who represent evil
have the faces of ugly and are referred to as demons
its also funny that we prove over and over
that our interpretation of ugly and beautiful
have nothing to do with good or evil  
in fact quite often it is just the opposite
you see it is not the outward appearance
or even the sometimes garbled rhetoric
spewed from the mouths that can be identified
as good or evil beauty or ugliness
far too often ones who spread christian kindness
maintain a darkness inside their souls
it is easy to be fooled sometimes by those
who wear masks and think of themselves as saints
condemning others and claiming they are sinners
history has proved this time and again
and for those who think they really know the truth
they really have all the answers good for them
faith is a good thing there is nothing wrong with faith
but it is a belief based upon nothing that can be
proved to be real and that is why it is called faith
but those who are of this realm cannot and should not
condemn those that are skeptical of their intentions
and maybe those who need proof should try
having a little faith since they have no proof either
I think we all know deep in our hearts what is good
we also know what is evil at least I hope so
I suspect though that things will continue
as they have over the millennium of time
there will continue to be finger pointers
there will continue to be liars and cheats
there will always be
the battle of sinners and saints
