RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
Crossing Over (Birth of Evil)
Good cannot become evil
Without the seed of evil
Implanted in the soul
When the seed of evil is implanted
It requires nourishment to grow
Greed nourishes evil
Desire in its basest form
Anger and jealousy
Hatred and revenge
From these the evil seed is sown
The evil being is grown
Humans are born innocent
A fertile unspoiled soil
An open landscape
An undiscovered country
A great untapped unknown
A town without people
A place where nothing grows
A song without a tune
A dog without a bone
A dance without a partner
Too many years alone
We are neither good nor evil
Until something comes along
Something honest and virtuous
Something twisted and wrong
A shining hero or a villain
A disconcerting song
The story takes a turn
A bump along the road
Transforms us to a jackal
Instead of old Tom Joad
