Evil Within

by MoHawk - Leo

Behind a deceitful mask,
Lies the true intentions,
Shrouded in empty smiles,
And faulty actions,
As the unexpecting are lured,
Into an unfortunate trap,
To be forever altered,
By a being of immeasurable evil.

This evil, however, cannot be seen,
At least not by most,
It is buried deep within,
A host of false nobility and dishonesty,
Which shrouds its presence,
Detectable only by a few,
A few that can see past this veil,
Into the evil within.

This evil corrupts and destroys,
It makes that, which was once pure,
Into something of unimaginable hate,
And through this corruption,
It reproduces, generating in others,
More hidden evil,
That, given the opportunity,
Will continue to spread like a plague.

This evil is not limited,
It is all around us,
It seeks any target,
Maybe you’ve been one,
Maybe you are one,
And if you’re not careful,
You, too, may suffer the same fate,
As so many others……


Reason for writing:

    just a warning.
