Good Prevails? - a Write for Poetics dVerse

Night Beneath Streetlight by Jimmiehov

Day and night

Day and night, 
In the light and in the dark 
Does day and light prevail 
Night and in the dark may spell trouble 

Crimes at night when the bad prowl 
and the upright are laying in sleep 
Technology brings light to the night 
Yet the bad find dark corners 
and snuff the lights  

Good and bad extend their window 
Artificial and flame bring light 
Then it's night with light 
Averages and trends 
smooth these things out 

The most important I know 
is right from wrong 
I, as all should, try 
to always do right

I love Agatha's Hercule Poirot movies and books. It's important to know that and always try to do right.

We seem to expect things to happen undercover of the night, but I often read about awful things that happen in the daytime, Jim. Evil doesn’t worry about light and dark. But we are drawn to it, whether it’s reading a good crime thriller or watching nasty crimes on television or film.

Jim, have you ever heard the expression, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." ? I agree that we must always try to do our best, but...

Maybe it's the darkness inside that works. Love the last lines...

I think often the light attracts the bad... maybe it is better to keep it dark since to keep the bad away
