Festering

The Direst Evil
By: Cedric Charles Lewis III

The presence of gnarly scowls, frowns and physical expression;
What ego brings to the table.
Immediate response exposes the dark fool leaving room for regret.
Regret breeds doubt.

When the defensive has access to doubt, denial is formed.
The truth hurts. A hot head can’t withstand a cold heart.
Spicy at the tongue, louder than a bomb,
jaws clench as power shifts.

Frantic movements substitutes critical thinking.
Cool, calm, and collections can’t harness passion.
Fire storms are rude awakenings.
Lenses in focus; tunnel vision.
The direst evil takes one further and further from the promise land.

It takes will, substance. Powered by vengeance,
It’s always louder without an audience.
Always more silent with more opposition present.
A constant battle of too much and too little control.
The dark fool becomes boundless.
