Good and Evil

The pattern is always the same.

Wherever Good goes,

Evil follows its trail,

Causing malice to trail behind it.

Wherever Evil travels,

Good is at its heels,

Causing joy to spread.

Good and Evil been

In war for centuries,

Neither overpowering the other.

As they fight,

Innocent people get caught in their

Blazing fire of hatred

My beloved son

Gave himself to

My old foe, Depression.

Everyday a piece

Of him fades away

Until he is nothing more

Than a ghost.

My beautiful wife

And

Her brave, older brother

Hurled themselves

Towards Death

To protect their loved ones

And

Strangers

Alike.

They left me

In the arms of my forgotten allies: Misery,

Suffering,

Pain,

Hatred,

And

Revenge.

They whisper in my ear,

“Blood!”

“Death!”

“Pain!”

“Misery!”

“Sweet Revenge!”

As I watch the Earth

Grow older

Every second.

Before I drew my last breath,

Before I moved on to the next life,

I heard an arrow slicing through the air

Towards me

And

Pierce my chest,

Allowing Good and Evil

To enter my heart,

Destroying me from

The inside out.
