Evil

by Sam Legaspi
(Pinecrest, Florida)

Evil is like
a shadow
waiting for a lonely
light wandering in
the dark.

Evil is the
fire and fury
of humans,
that only the
water of death
can quench.

Evil is our
cries of ignorance
and intolerance
that only grow larger
and have to
be silenced.

Humans just can't
seem to find
a foothold on it,
but there is
always a Flashlight of
HOPE.
