Evil creeps silently following behind
keeping track of everywhere you go
his black heart is crafty he messes with your mind
convincing himself you will never know
Stumbling your footsteps trying to block your road
laughing as you try to find your way
putting up false roadsigns and convidence erode
but malice has a judgement price to pay
you watch the eerie shadows scurrying along
they seem to get there way ahead of you
nipping at your progress, stifling your song
you wonder if you'll ever make it through
the monster walks beside you moving you astray
winking as you follow the wrong path
he pretends to guide you laughing as you stray
because terror thinks your faith will never last
Evil paints the shadows darker than they are
he doesn't know the brightness of the 'Son'
the road you chose to follow isn't very far
he Hopes you'll lose the new path you've begun
So he takes a final walk treading where you treck
he thinks he's got you, but he's oh! so wrong
because you have a beacon that he will regret
a lamp that shows your feet where they belong
Evil's dark at every turn always placing traps
but the Son is shining 'ever on your steps
then he takes a walk down someone else's path
giving you a chance to catch your breath

Let there be light at the end of the darkened tunnel of evils ways, Let right stand above wrong and steps of courage be taken throughout. A brillaint write, and one with much wisdom within. I like this entry, thank you.

Thank you for this excellent entry in our contest, poems about good and evil are always worth a read and yours is no exception. You have used a number of half rhymes and in places your flow is a little off, but a good poem never the less.
Please join us in our future contests...Sue and Jeff

evil is hard to spot
until you get closer to the light
then it is like a deer in the headlights.
