Poetry: Evil

EVIL LIVES HERE

My purpose is not clear.

But all I know is Evil lives here.

In this house, on my couch.

Evil even comes out of my own mouth.

Although I wish it would never take that route.

I wish I did not have to see it.

I wish no one ever freed it.

Now there are way to many people who believe it.

Who seek it and retrieve it.

Who follows and receive it.

Evil lives here and Evil lives there.

Evil seems to be every where.

Evil does not and will never care.

Evil is full of spite and despair.

Evil is not and will never be fair.

Any place you do not want to go.

Evil will take you there.

If it has not already. Evil is constant and steady.

It will take your hopes, wishes, and desires.

As you burn in hells fires.

Kneeling in front of the devil, you now call sire.

Your only mistake, murder for hire.

But it is too late now. I ended up down here how?

Lord, I thought I did better, WOW!

Evil lived here way before me, way before I did.

I felt it as a grown up. I felt it as an out of lesson high kid.

Evil has no top, no real lid.

It only goes lower, at least that is where I slid.

I did not go to jail. I did not do a bid.

But Evil lives here. My soul I can not rid.

Yes Evil lives here. But it lives there too.

I can tell by the awful things you do.

You are making 2012 come true.

From all the oil spills. This life this world is so surreal.

To all the recent biblical floods.

To all the biblical slides of mud.

From Russia, to Pakistan, to China.

This Earth is in trouble. There is no more kind of.

And now you have mind control.

All I can say is ”whoa.”

And you can also control the weather.

Some say never. I say how clever!

Ignorance is bliss. Ignorance is one thing I will never miss.

I will fight with a kiss or and then my fist.

Gripes and complaints, with Evil I have a very long List.

I also have a list for God but that is another conversation.

Right now Evil is what we are debating.

Evil lives here with all its advances.

Never giving any one like me, any kind of chances.

With the devil it dances. Only taking defensive stances.

You will never use your knowledge for anything good.

And you should! You could!

But that is not a part of evils nature.

You will never find anything nice on its normanclature.

Oh but you will have a full plate.

Full of hate. Moving at a very fast rate.

Full of crap that has no taste.

I look and frown at all the waste.

Because it was all of our jobs to make this world a better place.

You, THERE IS NO MASTER RACE.

At least not in your case. There
