Is it good to be bad? A little evil? Would it cover the sadness? The ache in the world I’ve created for myself So beautiful Yet so scary So full of kindness that may be stripped May be stomped upon May diminish at some point in time But the clock ticks on Changing by the minute Is it good to be bad? A little scary? Would it make people want to give me nice things? The sting gets stronger More painful Watching the devil receive his gift Would it make hills easier to climb? Less tears as I get higher In a world that traps me in a soul whose purpose is to be kind To save my people To change a life or two I ask myself Is it good to be bad? Would it be better to be evil?

Why do bad people win?
