Evil

Do you feel that chill that caresses your skin

The pain of hell that you put them in

The fear of losing yourself from within

would be a treat for a beast as ye

Do you hear the screams of the tortured souls

The ones that you didn't care to console

Their screams bite you at the core of the night

From the hands of their killer

you will have a lot of sleepless nights

They are in your head

They are there for good

To do unto you 

As you had done them

Do you feel yourself slipping

Falling into the deep

That harm that you have done

Is now earning their keep

You will not survive the torment in store

For this is that fate that you have desperately asked for

It's too late now to right your wrongs

For you are now too long gone

You will suffer as those you have put down.

Good riddance

Goodbye 

So long

Twas a taste, a glimmer a taunt
She now knows of our daily haunts
She scripts of the experiencing the scare

We peer at her from the shadows
Wondering if she'll recall the vision
Doubtful, probably another accidental happenstance

You see, a few, for what ever the reason
Are given glance to our mental instabilities
Most disregard the occasion as a horrible nightmare

A few, rare as they are, as you have just read
Ponder if such existence doth be there
Some evenings, before they sleep, they include us in their prayers

Curiously we ponder,
Doth one pray for us because of their experiences
Or are we mentioned out of fear to not want to visit there anew

Oh the poor few
If they only knew
Twas prayer answered that gave them the visitation

We oft see such as thee
Once here but never really comprehend nor care
Eventually, cast aside the visit like they cast us aside, and ultimately we are forgotten

So we wonder
Why are they granted temporary omission to our plunder
When they always and intentionally forget our constant misery

Nice visual. I felt it. I love these lines..."Do you hear the screams of the tortured souls...
The ones that you didn't care to console"

[Diane]

I Belive there are many different levels of evil. The one you have written about is the upper echelon. Well done

[Diane]

Thank you much!

OOOOOO that is a powerful condemnation! Evil, and people who do evil are certainly NOT NICE. But I think it is worth remembering that retribution breeds retribution. I think if the horrible scary things stay in fiction that is ok. Sometimes if we see a film or read a story about 'Beasts' it makes us feel so grateful that they are not real. But, bad things do happen in real life ... quite a problem. Good for you for writing this poem.

[Diane]

Thank you for reading and review!

[andrew mitchell]

The night and nights clash in the end rhymes being too similar and breaks the flow in similarities otherwise not bad at all and the story was most entertaining.

[Diane]

Thank you very much. I'll look it over and edit that part.
