Villain Unmasked

Villain Unmasked In odd places the Villain appears, In the right places he disappears- On merry moments then re-appears. For, such is the habit of a Villain Who enjoys to inflict carnal pain Yet, scarce and elusive to be slain. He contorts in a fearsome grimace Ogling timid children on the face Their infantile courage to displace. Crawling like a famished beast, Beating and flexing scaled breast; He mulls on how to enjoy the 'feast'. Where children are happy at play, Ugly features at once are on display To throw everyone into disarray; Face clad on an fearsome hood, Picks and chases them in the wood To eat the abandoned Picnic food. He cast to innocent people a spell By urinating in the clean water well Sickness to ring the death knell. No wonder, he flies on black garb Wielding the sword or his barb- Voice, tearing the air with rhubarb! His throaty laugh is deep, not mild He groans and growls loud and wild To shudder man, woman and child. Between two lovers having sex Suddenly, he re-appears to perplex By disturbing, disrupting the reflex! To the crafty potter kneading hard He disrupts Industry and its reward By breaking everything to shard. Villain and his cruel art of stealth, Art of disrupting another's wealth Peace, Happiness and his health; Art of appearing in places so rare Schism, fear and confusion to flare Peace, harmony, stability to scare; One day he will know that his art And foible of scare is not so smart- He will be impaled by a holy heart!
