Indifference
I heard this on television
One-line of a narration
One-line so plain and simple
It filled me with expectation
The words quoted
I wish I had wrote
A-line that resonated
Bringing understanding and hope
I never thought Evil existed
I thought things
Were either Good or Bad
Evil I resisted
Then as I became older
Things started to go awry
The realization that Evil
Is always standing by
Ready to attack the vulnerable
Or give a helping hand
To any of their followers
With their Narcissistic plans
I've wandered off, as I often do
From the line of the narrator
This is only my point of view
I am just a spectator
The opposite of LOVE
Is not Hate, INDIFFERENCE was the quote
What an interesting concept
We all should take note
INDIFFERENT people have no feelings
For anyone but self
Interest means INVOLVEMENT!
And sharing their precious PELF!
This does not make EVIL
Any better or worse
They are both deplorable
Both share the same SATANIC CURSE!
EVIL causes devastation and FEAR!
It's TANGIBLE, at times you think you can
SMELL, TASTE and HEAR
It's PRESENCE ever near
EVIL creates feelings
Palpable and real
Narcissistic people are INDIFFERENT
To how other people FEEL
