I met him fifteen years ago,
I was told there was nothing left
no reason, no conscience
No understanding or even the most rudimentary
sense of life or death,
Of good or evil, right or wrong
I met this six year old child
with this blind, pale, emotionless face
They were the blackest eyes
The devil's eyes
Purely and simply evil
I spent eight years trying to reach him,
And then another seven
trying to keep him locked up
Because I realized that what was living
behind that boy's eyes
They were the blackest eyes
The devil's eyes
Purely and simply evil
Tonight
