Evil Poem by Barry Middleton

Evil



Evil is done by oneself alone;
by oneself is one defiled.
Buddha

in a world filled with evil
men turn to hatred

we must avoid evil
but hatred makes us evil

avoid evil men
do not become like them

confront all evil
but not with hatred

to conquer evil
begin by conquering self

This one was inspired by the contentious world we live in. Too often evil is met with evil. That will never work. Still I fear that evil people never look within.
