Evil Resides...

Don’t open the closet door

Don’t look underneath your bed

Vile demons and monsters reside over there

Xenophobia indeed makes a man cautious

From childhood elders warns us, don’t talk strangers

But what about, when in every nook and corner, are lurking unprecedented dangers?

Candy and chocolates are guilty pleasures

Warning! Pedophile’s greatest weapons

But isn’t it the fault of all virtuous men who, to stop such crimes, failed to step in?

We tend to turn a blind eye

Look away the other side

Hypocrisy prevails, when others break the rules we never ourselves have abide!

Penumbra of devil is thought to be unknown

But humans themselves are humanity’s greatest foes 

The adroit hunters are appreciated when they shoot down peaceful doves

Lingering shadow generally has a familiar face

And trust is betrayed by only one who is able

Beware because evil shares our beds, it resides at the dining table…
