Evil And Good

A poem about the true nature of the soul

The world has many colors

 

Thousand shades of black and white

 

Evil, Good?

 

 there's no such thing

 

There's only souls

 

Both dark and light

You tied up,life pretty quick,kept me interested and still thinking, though I disagree,there is evil. Good is just perspective.

[Emily Dickinson Jr.]

You'r entitled to your opinion but I don't agree. Unless someone has a mental difficiency then they are good in some way. Theres someone that loves them. They help the community. They took care of a stray kitten. They smiled at a victim last wednesday even if they didn't know it. No one is entirely evil to everyone and has nothing but darkness in their soul forever since the day they were born. That is my strong opinion and that is what this poem encompasses.

I guess your right the china man said "it could always be worse"

[Emily Dickinson Jr.]

yup! :-)

[Michael Perez]

Flowed well and continuously, yet was powerful and really shed light on what the whole deal is with the words "evil" and "good." Great work!

[Emily Dickinson Jr.]

Thanx so much! Im really glad you enjoyed it! :-)

Very short piece, but yet, to the point. And it is and interesting point you make about "Thousand shades of black and White" I have never thought about it like that. Very interesting indeed. There is something to ponder at the end with souls being both dark and light - this goes along with the question that has been asked through out time - you clearly point out - Evil, Good? I think you make the reader (or at least me) ponder the good and bad in people and can there be a medium. Although this is short it really says a lot in so few words, and that is good!

thanx! I rly ain to put alot in a small space. I feel the shorter a poem the more power it can hold.

[The Random Writings Of Me..Kates]

This is true, some of the shortest pieces can have the biggest impacts! Some works by Emily Dickinson are very short, but speak volumes.

[Emily Dickinson Jr.]

I agree! I love her work so much she is my favorite writer :-) and my inspiration

It's short, but it gets to the point. So basically the poem is saying that both "evil" and "good" people, for example those in stories and such, have both "evil" and "good" in them? Short and sweet. I like it very much. ^^

[Emily Dickinson Jr.]

thank you! :-)

[Mariah Corey]

[Emily Dickinson Jr.]
