Basic Evil 101

Born of serpents to the darkness.

Raised in shadows, out of sight.

Stalking stealthily the night

To prey on poor unfortunates.

 

Creeping out from under rock just

Far enough to test the air.

Lashing out at those who dare to

Cross your wayward slitherings.

 

Don your pretty plastic mask

To hide the fire that otherwise

Comes flashing forth from flaming eyes of

Grand deception, burning lies.

 

Pity those who cannot see

The heinous horror in your hate, who

Shake in fear when it’s too late

To simply turn and run away.

 

Vigilance its own reward

To spurn the serpent in his lair,

Lock the door and keep him where

His poison will not kill.
