IT

It has eroded into ugliness
This force with not one name
It is the reason behind resistance
The devil’s stash of cocaine

It is the cause of all wars
What makes each heart turn to black
It ignites the flames of hellfire
Taking all the while not giving back

It feeds off of evil
Whatever’s dirty or sick
It has a mind of its own
Thrives when it’s kicked

What is this presence?
The one mentioned above
It is the essence
Of the opposite of love


Please tell me what you think!

This morning theres a calm I cant explain
By the time I recognize this moment it will be gone,  
I will bend light pretending it lingers on
