The Evil Within

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR:  CORONAVIRUS SERIES


The Evil Within

 

As we grind like churning wheels

Toward an end of this descent

The beginning comes into focus

 

We the people elected an imposter

To the most powerful office on earth

We the people allowed minority rule

We the people said no no no

To real and necessary change

We the people said yes yes yes

To this pretending fool

 

I must wonder what great inherent evil

Lurks within the soul of man

That paved this road to madness

That sickened this great land

 

And I must wonder where we stand

To deserve this woeful fate

Did we fail our fellow man?

Did we act too late?

 

An evil this profound

Cannot belong to one alone

It sprang from the unspeakable

Within us all
