Malady Poem by Barry Middleton
Malady
it builds in the gut
like a heavy metal
till the poison kills
it is the cause of war
the cause of poverty
the fodder of envy
it drains the rivers
it burns the forests
it slaughters beauty
it is gloating avarice
that seizes the soul
that strangles kinship
it is the destroyer
the fire cloud demon
the darkness within
it is all of human evil
it robs the earth
it hoards the very air
There certainly is a lot of greed as the Panama Papers have shown and much before that. TFS
Another amazing write from your pen Barry. Evil in man is definitely like a disease that destroys n kills the soul of man.
Thanks. Glad you liked it. Evil and greed build up like a toxin the body cannot eliminate. Yes, eventually it kills the soul.
