Evil
Unlike opportunity,
Evil knocks many times.
Using many faces,
Subliminal messages.
hidden in song and video,
espouted by our friends.
As the thief entering a home,
is wiley and sly in invasion,
willful in intention,
never seen but effecting
cognitive response.
So evil strikes full force
as the morning sun
through opened blinds.
As the kitten innocently
leaps into your lap
soliciting a caress
or loving word.
Evil weaves its way
into our lives as sweet words
wafted on the tongue
spoken as from the poet’s pen.
It worms its way into
our innermost wants and desires
awakening secrets unspoken,
as the lover awakens passion.
It beguiles the senses.
Want of alternative,
we think that what we do
is our only path.
Beware!
