Evil Visits



Evil visits!
Approaching,
Unexpecting misdeeds doers.
Implementing their insensitivity.
With an unrelenting attack on peace.
Done to disobey rules and laws.
Corrupting to fraud and deceive,
Humanity.
Viciously released.
Hoping victorious their misdeeds will be.

'Ooops! There it is.
Yet not clear to appear upon the horizon.'

'There what is yet to appear clear?'

'Sssshhh.
Let the aging, old and endangered speak!'

A witnessing.
Comes.
By the innocent affected emotionally.
For themselves to see.
Truth!
No longer hidden to fiction reality.
Truth!
As bright as the Sun.
Brilliantly shining.
Blinding the eyes of the mindless.
Stripped away of their disguises.

'What on Earth,
Is this vision no one yet...
Can see?'

An evil returning.
Secretly appearing upon the horizon.
Expecting to finish their misdeeds.
But met,
Unexpectedly.
Not with victory to receive nor get.

'Okay!
What will they receive to believe and get?'

Who knows what tomorrow,
Comes to bestow?

'But...
Aren't you among the old and endangered,
Species speaking?'

Hey?
I only say that around you young folks.
Who think they know everything.
Until I lower my voice.
Look up towards the sky.
With my eyes wide open and staring.
Dramatically.
Then speak slowly as if,
God is using me to deliver His message!
And that's the only way,
I can get you young people...
To pay attention and listen to me!

'Very effective!
But what about the evil misdeed doers?'

Who knows!
I am in no position,
To know what's on God's mind.
And besides,
You 'kids' know more about...
Using the internet than I do.
Although I must admit,
Hope to keep that alive is a possibility!

'You make no sense at all old man!'

I said the same thing to my parents.
When I was about your age.
But...
You know what?

'No. What!?'

What goes around,
Comes back around.
To pay the consequences,
For staying forever ignorant!
Believe it or leave it where it is!

'When and where,
Is your next performance?
Entertaining yet short on excitement!'

Live to learn and learn to grow up!
Evil to follow,
Has never been proven...
Beneficial for anyone to live peacefully!
Or left to feel victorious.
To have won anything!
And that to know,
Comes with age and observation!
