![]() IndulgenceA Poem by Sara![]() another dr.jekyll and mr.hyde inspired poem![]() In every man A creature lurks And waits to feast On vulnerability. When fed, it ravages the mind And consumes every kindness And when put behind bars It calmly waits Until the hours have passed So slowly that its hunger Leads it to freedom once more. In every man The temptation of sin The indulgence of choice. Is the loneliest path But the creature prefers the night. It is neither a pack animal Nor does it prefer to be alone Rather, In every man, The creature prefers to feed on other lives So that it will never be alone And never hungry. The creature within Waits for release And when fed, Like a dog It will return for more. The silence of night For every man Is frightful But for the creature It is a chance to escape And to feed the temptation that lurks In the shadows of the soul. The murky recesses And the hidden passions Can once more be released. Evil calls Every man Out of his hiding And the frequency of sin Whispers, full of static, To every man that will listen.
