Ravaging Beasts
Envious, tempting, scales blinding themselves.
Forked tongues assuring each other that they are right.
Perverted minds.
All of them lead you and each other into traps.
Destroying themselves with jealous pride and ignorance of disturbing evil intent.
Stealing freedom and rights that all men should defend.
When dictators prevail, no sense of humanity remains.
Become like beasts and ravage each other.
Plunder and pillage, kill and destroy, just like chimpanzees that are bred to be war mongers.
Never revealing peace that brings security and prosperity.
Crush all that value order and justice, nothing will be gained.
Trample life like it means nothing, be blamed for the cause of pain.
They strive for attention that they no longer need from goodness.
All trust in them is lost.
Never to be re-obtained.
Truth gives hope and eternal life.
It's evil knowledge that the wicked cling onto that destroys themselves.
No goodness comes from it.
Remain in the Word of God, the good truth will remain with you.
Never stray from your own faith and only trust those willing to show compassion and give you truth.
