Walked around
but could not find
the evil that we left behind
did not greet me
with acid spray
at the breaking of the day
could not find it
evil disappeared from
each corner of the land
no devil hands
working strings
that uproot everything
no evil to be found
a peach tree and
a cherry blossom
that i kept til autumn
were beautiful
were beauty manifest
but i digress -
absent still of evil
what is this wonderland
I have created
where evil is never formulated
never instigated
never present nor
lurking behind back alley bins
never flaunting dogbreath satantic grin
not here just joy formidable
in every person and each day
a brand new and transparent way
to live
