Evil is hard work

And he labored diligently that he might lead away
the hearts of the people, insomuch that he did lead
away many hearts . . .

Jacob. Chapter 7. Verse 3.

The devil knows temptation is hard work most of the time;

It takes a heap of sweat and strain before there is a crime.

Temptations that are easy do not lead to vice supreme;

For that you have to struggle, plan, and ultimately dream.

I submit that virtue is like falling off a log;

It comes to us as natural as hopping to a frog.

So take it easy if you want the angels to rejoice

In a lifetime spent too lazy to make the wrong choice.
