the flower of evil

Evil is but a blooming flower,

Alluring, captivating.

It is born from a humble seed

And grows to corrupt a forest.

To watch its infection spread;

To be a part of its existence...

I can think of no better prospect,

Can you?

Indeed one might baulk at the idea,

Of seeing millions suffer.

To watch worlds scream and writhe;

To see them suffer and die, with living eyes...

Yet there is a mysterious beauty in such devastation,

Fear that shakes me to my very core;

Is transfigured into a twisted pleasure:

As I am frightened, so too am I aroused.

I am addicted to the ephemeral sensation;

To the borderline between rapture and rupture.

To see my own blood soaking from splitting wounds;

Leaves me maddened amongst these blooming flowers
