Where does evil come from?
Summoned like a swift dragon from his
Precarious sleep.
I will not give evil a beast name. I know
It springs from the deep well of a
Reasoning mind. Who said
That anger, a different way of seeing,
Necessitates conflict?
Why must I see an enemy when
I could achieve understanding?
Show mercy? There are no differences.
Their losses ; Our losses.
Their children ; Our children.
Their dreams ; Our dreams.
Where does evil come from?
It is in the human ability to reason away
The unreasonable, and to do
The unthinkable
While everyone is watching
Pretending they do not see what they see.
