"When Darkness Becomes Evil"
Evil comes in many shapes
but terror is its form.
Held together by our fears,
like darkness brings a storm.
It covers up our moral values,
with the shadows that it makes.
By overriding our judgments,
making us make mistakes.
Putting thoughts across our mind,
we've never thought before.
Working on our weaknesses,
to listen to it more.
But nothing can it do,
unless we hold it in our sight.
Because darkness is not evil,
unless there is no light.
