Evil! Poem by Malcolm Gould

A strong sense of unease fills my mind and soul

my body trembles is it fear or the cold night

looking around at the seemingly quiet streets

once feeling safe and secure I want to flee

evil exists all about in the form of human beings

cruel calculating driven by what is a mystery

few cause so much misery and horror in society

overpowering subtle in their persuasive false way

most want to live peacefully keeping evil at bay

do you not feel it to that unseen lingering unease

always there ready to attack like a viral disease!


The Foureyed Poet.
