The Dawn of Evil
It begins with something simple...because we all know better than to heed the words of the sinuous, slithering and suggestive snake. Like Mother Eve, Evil rises in every fiber of our beings. We are drawn to the exotic, the dangerous, that which is taboo.
Evil awoke in the Garden of Eden and spread her magnificent, malignant raven wings of smoke over the blue-green planet. She sows her seeds within us all, mocking, testing, luring even the most glowing, sanctimonious, and pure-hearted to her den. She whispers love songs and mystical messages in our ears, promising more than we dare to dream.
Evil lives because of want and need. The pious need not seek her or the Fallen Angel as the wickedness grows like a flaming ball of red-hot embers within that empty cavity beneath the thorax. Evil is heartless, yet it is the heart of each and every being.
Evil was born because of human desire. Don't you know that which is so beautiful must be underlaid with tones of golden flecked sensuality that is way too good to be true. So it is false and only the brave recognize it for its truth. Evil lives within. It grows from good intentions, martyrs and suicide terrorists. It is borne of lack and of excess, and seeks no class distinction. It is the ultimate fantasy and horror story together. Evil is what fuels the flames of desire and success. It is greed, avarice, want and sex. It is fathers turning on their families and company executives skimming the top. It is the way we prostitute ourselves for the American Dream.
Evil has been here for all time. She has linked herself through the trees and fossilized remains of the past to our present. She calls to your base instinct, those gut desires and makes you want. She makes you act. True followers feel no remorse.
So what is evil? We are evil, every living, breathing organism. We inhale dreams and exhale the subtle suggestions of Lucifer and Eve. We thrive on dark hope and the fear of not pleasing Evil. Eve/Evil is always watching, she waits for you to stumble, and helps you up with dark promises. She walks with you through the world, until at last she brings you to the gates of Hell. Or is it Paradise?
Evil lives as long as humans want, desire, hope and dream. She will be steadfast and true until you can no longer walk beside her. And then, Evil simply laughs.
