When One Chooses Evil Over Good... Poem by RIC BASTASA

how did one man choose
evil from good?
was it a matter of decision
to choose one that made him
feel right?
i've seen one man choose evil
over good
and he did not end
that well enough.

were he to be born again
and start at square one
will he choose evil just the same
and meet the same
tragic ending?

i guess he will choose it
again
because he always
remembers that feeling and
it made him feel
so good and so right
that he never thought it
even for once
to be evil
