Poem
There is some darkness in you and me. There nests in our soul some iota of monstrosity- Wanting to be set free, to break loose in glee: It burns in our veins, and nags our pale soul. There is some evil in you and me. It has been nursed, fed with greed and blood-lust. It has been comforted and hushed For that special moment when it would be unleashed. There is some monster in you and me. The darkness has so soon transformed- You gave it breathe and let it evolve! Now burns evil in your adrenalinal lungs. The greed and cupidity gave it life- The lies in our lungs gave it vile The treachery in our dark heart gave it a personality. Now, that darkness has become an unstoppable monster. There is Death around you and me. It began like a little darkness in you and me- Fed along, it became the itchy evil in you and me. Then it became a monste in you and me The greed and Cupidity gave it life The lies in our lungs made it strive The treachery in our dark heart gave it a personality. That monster had then taken another shape. It had feared the light and detection It is a shy and shameful monster- The face is pale white The fingers crude and evil. But it had to feed, and move Then had it taken another shape to scuttle in both darkness and light Unafraid, free and unpredictable. We let it loose from that darkness in you and me. There was some darkness in you and me. There nested in our soul some iota of monstrosity- Wanting to be set free, to break loose in glee It burnt in your veins, and nagged your pale soul- And was placed at Lucifer's command.
