Evil

Is a man born Evil?

Or does he grow up that way?

Growing and growing until there is only cruel ice left

Is he born without innocence?

Or is it taken away from him?

Taking and taking until there is no more left

Is he born a murderer?

Or does the world shape him that way?

Molding and molding until the outcome is too horrendous to even look at

Is he born without a heart?

Or does Reality take it away from his innocent clutches?

Stealing and Stealing until it is too far away

Can a man truly be Evil?

Or is he merely dressed in Evil’s skins to protect

his weary soul

hiding behind a wall

shaped like a mask
