Taunter

Why is it 
that evil taunts
Mocking and desecrating
What is joyous, true and right
Opening 
a black hole pit
Hoping 
that you will stumble into it.

Satan is a taunter
Satan is a taunter
Satan is a taunter
So that name 
does fit you well.

Why is it
that evil laughs
At whatever 
it can get away with
And injustice 
Becomes a game
Without witnesses
And corruption holding sway.

"Raise yourself up, O Judge of the earth" *
"Raise yourself up, O Judge of the earth"
"Raise yourself up, O Judge of the earth"
Show wicked, taunting people
What their trouble's worth.


 * "Raise yourself up, O Judge of the earth.
Bring back a retribution upon the haughty ones.
  How long are the wicked, O Jehovah,
How long are the wicked themselves going to exult?
 They keep bubbling forth, they keep speaking unrestrained;
All the practicers of what is hurtful keep bragging about themselves."
                      (Psalm 94:2-4)
