The Nature of Evil and Love
Evil has brown eyes
Love has brown eyes
And blue
and green
Love's skin is pale
Evil’s skin is pale
And tan
And dark brown
Evil wears a police uniform
Love wears a police uniform
And a teacher’s lanyard
And an apron
Love speaks calmly
Evil speaks calmly
And gently
And kindly
Evil speaks harshly
Love speaks harshly
And angrily
And cruelly
Love hides behind the Bible
Evil hides behind the Bible
And the Torah
And the Qu’ran
Evil is male
Love is male
And female
And all of the genders in between
Evil, like Love, isn’t in how a person looks
Love, like Evil, isn’t in how a person sounds
Evil, like Love, isn’t in how a person prays
Love, like Evil, is in what a person does
Evil, like Love, is in what a person does not do
