The evil we evade is all of us.

The most painful thought
that clutches my brain
digging in
and replacing hope
is that the evil
we evade
is all of us.

There is no group
we could confine within cells
or burry within our soils
to vanish the evil
and live within purity
because humans are animals.

It’s not the rich alone
it’s not ethnicity
it’s not privilege
it’s not poor
it’s not a country
the evil it lives within all
and you can’t separate it out
because you might just be
confining yourself within a hole.

It’s everyone
it’s all of it
all the time
because our stress
our wants to measure up
obliterate our humility
because we want the best
to be the best
to be the right
not the wrong
and we will fight to be it
because destroying the opposing
allows us to create a perception
in which our right
is every bodies
because we’ve killed the rest
and that is not a place
I’d ever accept
so bury me with any.

Thanks for reading.
