For everything you see

There is always worse

Hidden by silence

Unspoken and unseen. 

A drop in the bucket

Or a tear in the rain

Evil beasts everywhere

Laughing all the way. 

The good make no excuses

But in evil

You will find no truth

Learning by doing

And blameless by law.  

The truth peeking out

From under the blanket

The same we should have known

All along. 

Barefaced and obvious

The revolting fools

Ugly, childish

Shallow and cruel. 

Markedly deficient

The empty headed fools

Riding high with immunity

To do what they will. 

Endless as the day

The time of endings

Forever delayed

Until just the right moment

And just the right day.

Falling like a weight

Deep down a chasm

The great heaviness of earth

In the here

And the now. 

The yoke to be lifted

And time overthrown

The ransom sum

Paid, redeemed,

And overcome.
