Evil Shadows Any Time and Everywhere

Trains run alight terminate on time like clockwork never ending endless procession of precision conductors the conducted walk down the line warped tracks of cynically divided isles dead ends of ‘labour making free’ Evil strips uniformed confluence stripes and leather Coated terrified collection production of space soap horror lampshades shearing shorn haired tattoos the undivided divide of power abomination horrid abnormal ‘normality’ represses guilt projected trans-re-and aggression Evil does other in the guise of completed concentration Concerted action blisters scorches screams cacophonies children on father’s lap blue eyed dancing and laughing kisses of love adoration cuddly dolls miniature life’s train sets model schema roles toys games memories distraction Evil giggles corporates shapes what past and future holds Mothers craft homes happy families embrace posterity apple pies devotion roast cinnamon cranberry turkeys tarts in ovens pious allegiance compassion progress contrast splitting off piano forte harmonious singing rejoicing at mantelpiece and altar Evil mocks smouldering torches paradise’s apple deprivation Juvenile followers of fashion compose indoctrinate compost hail philosophy’s trampled ideology void of virtue meaning distorted communion bread wine blind vision blind-sight vortex trailing inscribing engraving present history timeless repetition Evil tracks moribund humanity dignity degeneration and disgust Unless we reflect examine investigate inside and around us the smokescreens stacked ember ashes individual ‘Self’ universal pursuit of righteousness flames of denial denigrating potential illuminate conscience honesty fallibilities blue prints for darkness and unless we act and fight stand up and even then Ubiquitous evil at this very moment will cast its seeds and shadows will unbalanced fires raise their ugly head and minds and shoulders gas and bullets terror grenades rockets mines warfare starving emaciation lest we forget the prototypes the moulds automated conveyor belts evil we can not abdicate responsibility for blatant murder of the human race Auschwitz is everywhere and there is no hierarchy of evil July 1st Independence Day (Canada)
