The Most Dangerous Mixture
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
The world wants a positive message.
They can’t understand; they already have one!
They want to get an ego massage.
Everything is all right; I can just have fun.
They don’t want to hear the truth and accept it.
In the last days the masses will only reject it.
Because of the increase of evil it’s told;
In the last days the love of the many grows cold.
The evil is mixing the truth with a lie!
Because of this evil the many will die.
So what will become of those who have mixed it?
Their destiny is curtain; God already fixed it!
