Evil

Honestly, this is a poem I wrote half during Business Law, and the other half during Criminal Justice. I'm not sure where it came from. I just started with the first line because it fit well together. And from there the rest just fell into place.


Slanderous malevolence
Doth fast destroy benevolence,
And quickly drives courteousness
Into the barren earth.

Wherefrom there springs melodious,
Harmonious, symphonious,
All consuming happiness,
And ostentatious mirth.

Alas, while happy children sing,
And little birds on little wing,
Fly safe upon the blustering
Wind, there still doth murmur

An evil unlike any we
Have up to now consistantly
Ignored and more ignorantly
Pursued with extreme fervor.

Hatred, all encompassing,
And murderous consternationing,
Are but two of the many things
This evil doth engender.

Now when it all comes to an end
The only thing remaining then
Is to ask ourselves just where and when
We'll end our hideous quest.

Because until this thing is done
We'll find that all under the sun
Is but a want to ne'er be won,
And joys will turn to sorrow.
