THE EVIL WITHIN<\/p>\n

If we did not have our heart,
\nWe would indeed have no life,
\nBut the evil that grows there,
\nCan cause just so much strife.<\/p>\n

It is just like a small garden,
\nWhere different seeds are sown,
\nSome thoughts can be so nice,
\nWhile others will make us moan.<\/p>\n

The Lord so clearly warned us,
\nOf the evil that lurks therein,
\nWicked things are born there,
\nWhich can easily lead us to sin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
