Good Against Evil

I turned and hid my face away From the nightmares that would stay I gathered myself whilst my strength built Being determined that to the evil I wouldn’t yield And when I opened my eyes I found The evil grew and I was no longer bound So I stood toe to toe and looked in its eyes Seeing it all without the usual disguise We fought without seeing an end For the justice I would always defend When it could be seen the fight wouldn’t finish I fought on with the courage the dark would not diminish. © Paul Warren Poetry
