    What Is The Evil 1?

    If money is the root of all evil, then Evil must be 1.

    Cause without that worthless penny, we all, would have none.

    Well then if, we have none, then we, do not have Evil.

    So what, is there to say, about that building, under that steeple?


    The conductor of that steeple, wants, you to give,

    That 1, and much more, so you can be told, how to live.

    Now, what, I am asking, is: What is, the evil 1?

    The 1, that is the root, or, the leader of, that congregation.

    Money is the number one evil yet we can't live without it.

    This is true. Society is set up so we need evil to survive within it's walls.

    What an insightful poem!. You offer so much reflection upon the completion of this piece. I love the metaphoric message that places "what we all love the most", as the #1 evil in our lives. Whether we like to accept it or not... We love MONEY, and when MONEY talks....the last words we want to hear from it, are: GOOD BYE! :))

    Thanx EB. You understand exactly where this poem is coming from. I'm just keeping it real. We know it's the root of all evil; but we still want it. So, what do we really want.

    Amen to that! They can do more damage than good more often than not.

    This has got to be one of the deepest pieces I've written. It is not comforting knowing ALL of us want, or need, Evil. If that wasn't true, we wouldn't do damn near anything for that item which IS, the root of all Evil.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
