I created this in Adobe Illustrator, adding an effect in Adobe Photoshop, using a couple images I found on the Internet for reference. I made up the poem, based on Green Lantern's oath. I created it in response to my friend Russ, who suggested we form a Green Lantern Corps against Blog Trolls, after he had some blog trolls leave comments on his site. He also has a Green Lantern Blog Troll Guardian image on his sites:

I will post this on the right hand side of my blog site from now on, though you will have to scroll down a little ways to see it.
He and I both enjoy superheroes, as is evidenced on another of his sites:

Green Lantern's oath begins with, "In brightest day, in blackest night,
no evil shall escape my sight."

The Bible says about evil:
"All these evils come from inside and make a man 'unclean.'" (Mark 7;23)
"Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed." (John 3:20)
"But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger." (Romans 2:8)

Green Lantern uses the strength of his will to control his power ring. The Bible says that we must surrender our will to God and follow Him.
"I desire to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart." (Psalm 40:8)
"Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground." (Psalm 143:10)
"Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." (Matthew 6:10)
God is the only One Who can create things out of nothing by the power of His will:
"You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being." (Revelation 4:11)
Green Lantern uses his power ring to create forms out of energy. The Christian uses his/her faith in reliance upon God, Who can accomplish even the seemingly impossible:
"I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." (Matthew 17:20)

Green Lantern's oath continues with a warning to all who worship evil to beware.
"There is no peace," says my God, "for the wicked." (Isaiah 57:21)
