Evil Begets Evil

“Evil begets Evil” I read upon the derelict arch, Engraved in the stone: a warning to all Who to these ruins would march. “Evil begets Evil” “Evil begets Evil” Even the welcome mat Reeks of waste, not welcoming at all. Just cracks with invading moss matte The Evil regrets of Evil Evil besets Good When a family nest/bed Through greed and hate after inheritance Deep to murder instincts is infested Evil arrests Good. “Good begets Good” The cracked frame read Lying in the rubble like a forgotten fossil Covered with dust and shoe tread “Good be-” *crack* “gets” *crack* “Good” The words nobody heeded Till Evil bore only more Evil.
