[hometext] => I am EVIL...
[bodytext] => It is I that walks freely in the valley, See no evil, fear no evil I never see myself, therefore I do not fear. All I see are exits and wounds, all I walk past I never stop a moment to take it all in For though I am far more evil More evil than anything here, I do not wish to abide, in the chance I may Lose myself and drop away. I still do recognise the power of the sublime forces I still realise I am only mortal, a water drop, a seed In the plantation of man, I will be reaped before long I will not grow, not enough, I will die in the cold Swelter in the warm, drown in the torrid rainfall I will not yield to my desires to live, for they betray. I will only shudder to the chance I may do good, what else May I do in these days than cause mayhem, what fun Would there be should I choose to exist in harmony? I see no evil; therefore I feel I should bring it to the valley. I have outgrown my roots And burst them from the bank, I have left The plantation, I will bring fear to others, To the farmers and my brothers. I laugh at the sun who can harm me no more I only have death to face, and he I live for; I want to relish it, Much as I should anything else I want to see it shocked at my joy. Here in the valley, with my unstoppable onslaught I laugh and progress through the fields and the rain I feel the strain, I do not fear it though, I know That if I continue and do not look back, they can't No they cannot reach me, for I am evil, it is true. I have stepped right out, into the impossibility of reason Only now do I realise I cannot think if I should survive If I think, I will rationalise, and see I am wrong, evil is not Rational because evil has no mercy, I am bad. I am evil. But I am clever, too clever, I need to think, the Deus Ex Machina Has caught up with me.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
