Villain

Villain in cape of black
	slipping through dark of night
hooded eyes peer about
	searching for a dark somewhere

evil he would have afoot
	dark deeds in deep of night
perhaps a damsel to abduct
	carrying screaming to his lair

heroes he would undo
	trapping them in his snare
as they seek the damsel fair
	their noble quest he would foil

yet there is no place for him
	no stories where he could fit in
only goodness is about
	no place for evil can be found

slipping off into the night
	darkness does he gather around
in the shadows he does await
	for a chance to evil do
