The Power of Darkness


Are there dark powers
and devils and evil spirits
set loose in the world?

No. They're just ghosts
of our fears of not lasting.

    God may not exist,
    But if you look at history
    Of this century
    With its human ovens, there’s
    No doubt about the Devil!

    Your own shadow looms
    on the wall; through it something
    scuttles. Rats, diseased.
    Soon you rash, fever--swelling
    as cities fall around you.

    You say, "my shadow
    brought forth all this destruction;
    this evil's in me."
    And you are exactly right.
    And you are exactly wrong.
