The Evil One Yearning for existence. Spiritless within the twilight In their solitary way. They try to capture at evils dare The magic of their youth. Within our souls the embedded knowledge To do what we feel is right. For it is the " Evil One " that will try to lead you Down the path or the road we call rebellious. It is he the Anarchist who thrives on Breakdown of lawlessness and confusion. To have you lead as the Attacker With resistance to Authority With defiance against our government Through suicidal uprising and revolt. To deliver this that pleases the " Evil One " In exchange for what? Time? With the price subdued for now, A deferral of reality, At the dear price of tomorrow. I bid you not to perform a deed That may tangle up another. Think ahead of the adverse affects, And embrace the final consequence, By showing your nobility. For it is the " Evil One " who Lays low within the mountain Who will wrest you of your life. Sarah Lee McGehee 2001 |
