Hidden Evil

If there was no bad in good,
good would exist not at all -
nothing would exist.

However it is that purity
be tainted by shades of grey
is of no comparison to evil
that oft be cloaked
in pretty colours.

We all have secrets in our basement;
however it is for most primarily
an acknowledgement that
we have travelled far.

Yet for others their treacherous secrets
are placed delicately in the attic;
they are worshipped like stars,
and watered like precious flowers.

Sometimes that which
is negative and destructive
in the unconscious mind -
the beast or animal in man -
pushes its way into consciousness.
This is the cold, calculated criminal.

The mind desires so much
to feast on darkness
that it convinces itself that
evil is good and good is evil.

The mind freezes
so as not to feel.
The cogs need to be hardened
to turn in such a fashion.

However the icy-cold machinery
is all along fueled by a
volcanic inferno seeking release.

Such a person is on a journey
to where time slows to a stand-still,
and pressure rises to an inferno.

This may appear unkind, however
it is testimony to the impossibility and
unwillingness to learn from mistakes.

In the West they call it hell.
In the East it is karmic rebirth
into a vastly lower 'life' from.

However in science it is called magnetism.
Darkness comes to those who yearn for it.
Light moves towards those who reach for it.

There is nothing to fear in evil,
yet it is what it is.
