With evil etched along your arms
as clearly as the slender,
green veins visible through
a layer of blood-red skin...
With odium reflecting in your eyes,
a nuclear explosion of flames
within the pupils
black as coal...
With malice in your twisted smile,
the curl of your thin lips
revealing the pointed tips
of calcium you call teeth...
Shall I play a fiddle for you?
Deal out a deck of cards?
Sell my soul?
Oh! But I am no fool...
Little girls who play with fire
get their fingers
burnt.

there is an inevitable darkness within every human soul, though some choose to show it while others don't. when i read a book called Lord of the Flies, i was inspired to express the "beast" within me through this descriptive poem on how, in even the best of us, civilization loosens the leash every once and a while.

Lord of the Flies is a superb book, dark and haunting.
