Silent Resolve

by Lewis E. Thomas  
10/17/2012 / Poetry

I saw a great evil raising its head
I sat back and relaxed upon my bed.

It crawled closer to my sleeping child
I decided to just watch for a while.

The evil drew closer but I sounded no alarm
God will never allow my child to be harmed.

God can handle it, no need to get involved
I remained still with my silent resolve.

God gave me a voice and the power to act
But I did nothing and that is a fact!

My bitten child begins to bleed
It is too late now to intercede!

As my beloved begins to die
I heard God speak and ask me, "WHY?"

They lower the little coffin down below
My resolve has delivered a terrible blow!

Now I am feeling the same sensation!
Watching my silent resolve destroy my Nation.

All that's necessary for evil to win in the world is for good people to do nothing.
Edmund Burke

He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
