Mind Fields: Evil

Evil

is the movement of pain

from one place to another. 

Evil has a source, a river of fire

rising from Hell.  Evil

dwells in the Land of Bad Intentions,

where power is never shared.

Who makes the pain?

How does suffering dive off the board

of one person’s mind

and land

in a pool of fear in someone else’s?

Should I be surprised to find evil

right here, inside myself?  Hardly.  I know what evil I carry.

I won’t surrender any more

to the cruel aspect of my mind.  I can think in polarities,

evil is “this”, good is “that”.  I get exhausted with polarities.

Can Evil simply Be?  There is no countervailing impulse, no good deed to excuse the causing of pain.

The goal of evil is undeserved suffering.  That suffering

is everywhere.  The ones who cause it

are also everywhere.
