Poetry Corner

I write poems when I can be bothered. This one came to me in a dream. Or something.

Evil

Evil insinuates
Itself into our lives.

Its shadow grows longer
In light. Evil survives.

Good folk just do nothing.
Evil triumphs that way.

There are evil people
Throughout the world today.

All of them like Coldplay.

“Mais les ouvrages les plus courts sont toujours les meilleurs.”
(Jean de la Fontaine 1621-1695)
