Evil Lives Here

lock them away!
throw the key into
the deepest sea
open steel doors nevermore

evil lives here

construct sky high walls
build them higher
and higher
don't ever stop
add wire on top

evil lives here

sedate them 'till
all fight is lost
give them candy bars
if it makes them glad
this is truly
a world gone mad

bars on the windows-
cold doors shut tight
secrecy and mystery
the outside world
will never know.

evil lives here.

True, no matter how tall or how deep the fence will go it will never stop the madness of our garden stained by evil.. Nicely done, Allen..
