They All Live Quite Close

Good and evil are neighbours just like adulation and fear
All four to each other are known to live near
The one with the power the one we love to toast
In many ways is the one we fear the most.

Human nature will never be fully understood
In the most evil person you will find some good
And in very good people some darkness reside
We all have our own little flaws for to hide.

Of the praises of our heroes we gladly may sing
But for the receiver too much adulation is not a good thing
Some do become smug when their ego is fed
And praise is a thing that can go to the head.

Good and evil from each other are not far away
There's not a huge gulf between them despite what many say
And adulation and fear are never far apart
They all live quite close in their home in the heart.
