Evil
Is
Quite literally
A fearful thought
That enters
The peace-compromised
Fear-fecund mind,
Given birth
By Resentment,
Taking Root
Without notice,
In the least expected place
At the most unlikely time,
Like a leech to a naked limb
Submerged in a murky swamp,
Reproducing in
Geometric Progression
Without prejudice
To its host,
Innocent or Guilty,
Until
The
Terror
Detonates
