In each of us lives darkness hiding from the light <br />Evil that lives inside waiting for the night <br />Blocking out our senses filling up our minds <br />Taking us out of control making us so blind <br /> <br />This darkness in existence is called by many names <br />Lust, greed, hatred and then there's sweet revenge <br />Then there is the worst of all self righteous is it's name <br />Judging others looks and sins as we hide our shame <br /> <br />The next time she walks along in her tattered dress <br />Or him with his shaven head and tattoos on his chest <br />Try to think what situation brought them to this spot <br />And maybe they're just happy with everything they got.<br /><br />T.James Becker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/self-rightous/
