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.
