Somber Evils

Somber

Is a place with no evil to be seen

The evil still exists

Sneeky in nature

Hiding in the depths of a human mind

The murder

The abuse

The true evil

Is what happens everyday

Children going without food

Governments

Healthcare companies

Profiting off of death

America is a canabil

Feasting on the wealth of its own people

May the children and families

That work three jobs to help educate

Their children

Not be eaten by this pathetic

Foul wolf

America

Just eating for the taste

Not of hunger at all

America

Truly has the most evil

Yet the most good

In this world

So many giving to the needy

The sneeky evil

Canibalizing

Feasting

On the misfortune

Of its own people
