Serpentine

 Serpentine              12/21/2016

Nothing is enough

But evil carries the day

Unencumbered by conscience

Empty, soulless, and vile. 

Heaping praise upon the killers

And vilifying honest men

The truly abominable

Hateful liar.

A wise man should know

That open doors

Close caskets

As evil sneaks in

Crawling on his belly.

The cages are opened

And now the beasts emerge

Imported and dispersed

On time

And on purpose. 

The cause and effect

Straight as a razor

The intent to destroy

With every action

Or inaction.

The ghost of the future

Stares into our soul

Asking us again and again

What course

We will follow.

Evil does not want

An apology

And evil does not desire

Our repentance

For peace. 

All it wants is death

And all it gives is suffering

Waiting for the good to weaken

So they can murder

And steal. 

Now they come out

And you can see who they are

The face of true hatred

Exposed to daylight

And contorted with rage.
