Dad, you believed in evil

To your dying day.

You weren't a Christian

But it was just your way

Of forgiving human beings for

All the sadistic

Barbaric

Blood-thirsty things they have done almost non-stop

Throughout the histories of so-called civilization.

To you, there just had to be

Something evil out there

That infects the souls

And the good intentions of people,

Then you could forgive

Your own humanity.
