Evil is everywhere my dear
Surely you’ve seen him
He lives in your shadow
On your shoulder in your ear
You expect him to be regal
And at times he is all that
But more often he’s a slouching
Little rat in your bathroom mirror
Sometimes he masquerades
As the village idiot
Too stupid to be dangerous
But with a bent
Toward accident
And oh, your life has been
A fairy tale till now, dear, hasn’t it?
You never swung on the trapeze without
A safety net
You magnified your tiny teacup tempests
Till they were something huge and wet
You had to write a little fiction
Or you’d be nothing
And like all clueless souls like you
You’re not getting any of this, really, are you?
Well comprehend this one thing dear
And I will take my leave
And wander with my ragged friends
On down through life’s little dream:
In all your fucked up glory
In all your stinking greed
In all your pathetic misery
And unconscious savagery
You are the most evil one this one has ever seen
