ONLY THE INNOCENTS

Evilness walks upright among us
A predator in the guise of a man
His words drip of concern and sweetness
But his heart is vile and black
It is the young in which he seeks
So he may drink deep of their innocence
Capturing their spirit while at its peak
Leaving but a shell of what once was
His toxic touch is born of sickness
Justifying his depravity as "Love"
He leaves a false sense of righteousness
His soul is full of rot and disease
His victims are powerless against him
They know not what he is inside
Until it's too late for them to flee
A fruitless battle of the spider and the fly
How many countless victims has he left...
Confused, sickened, questioning their fate
Stumbling blindly, scarred and ashamed
Trying to live a life that doesn't fit anymore
A destroyer of families, wrecking chaos in his wake
He moves on to the younger ones...the innocents
Casting off those who've grown to old for his interest
Heed the warning "Keep your children close"
For the devil looks no different than...
"The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost".

Horrendously sad, and far too true for far too many innocents.
