There Is Evil Inside

Moonlight bounces off the cold tile So hollow and empty Like the souls that dwell within the bodies that must walk along this frigid ground Each one encompassed by something unseen A heaviness that intensifies gravity An extreme force resting on the shoulders of the wicked Thrusting them down toward the inevitable Callous and calculating in a past life These skills no longer necessary Haunted by the terror in innocent children’s eyes Paths of destruction fueled by uncontrollable rage Carnage plagues the diseased mind Void of conscience The vigilant sociopath follows dangerously close behind Awaiting the precise moment to strike again They’ve learned to hide it They speak in peaceful tongues Tell themselves that the vile thoughts have vanished That the villainous culprit resides inside no more But they will never escape Doomed to spend eternity surrounded by steel and wire Looking up at the blue sky longing to be free Slowly deteriorating And reminiscing about the agony they once caused Mocked by the red exit sign at the end of the dark hall Knowing full well their feet will never touch liberated earth again
