Should one condemn evil For the way that it allures Anymore than one should Denounce the hawk In its flight Or the oceans’ insistence? Because it is Simply What it is Doing What it does Is it possible To admire evils’ beauty As one would admire The radiance of a new day Or the dark charm Of a summer night? Or perhaps Merely congratulate it On its persistent seduction |

Yes, nodding to the devil himself is one way to stay humbled... Well done, Ed...as littlewing said - you always leave us thinking... |

Nice turn -- surprising but inevitable when seen after the fact.... Me, I don't hold it against the chicken hawk when he dives into the yard, and he doesn't hold it against me when I shoot him.... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Perhaps good and evil are ultimately illusions for us to experience while role-playing our human lives in this three-dimensional plane of existance...? -MVS You CAN make a difference: |

Hmmm...I might congratulate evil on it's persistance, but I wouldn't invite it into my home.....again. Chris "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

Once again, you're charging up brainwaves. Perhaps they are really one and the same anyway, good and evil...and it's merely our varied perspectives we cling to, with US trying to make sense of the seemingly senseless acts THEY do. You've ventured far beyond the bowling alley, again. |

Wranx....Evil, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, I think. Interesting poem and you. |

The dark charm of a summer night!!! I admire that tremendously! Evil is as evil does, it's like the devil in disquise... and he's not invited to rain on MY parade. Nice wranx~ |

What is Evil? We walk a fine line everyday and besides morality is created (and exploited) by whoever is in power at the time. On a spiritual level, well, if one believes in god then one believes in devil, and if god allows devil to exist then surely evil has its place? I for one believe god and devil are one..it's all about balance..but that's my stupid opinion |
