Notes About The Poem

Speak No Evil


With visceral conviction, I say, speak no evil,
      Oh, the jealousy consumed;
Like crepuscular insects you hide deceitful,
I wish for a halcyon day with peaceful people.
And keep your cynical disillusioned opinions,
   Your penumbra shadows dim my illumination;
Sonorous, my voice- stay away from my dominion,
   Give my opulent, sumptuous writes verification.
      Oh, the desultory confused;
With exuberant conviction, I say speak no evil.
