How it begins
It doesn't take long for complacency to give rise to atrocity
From complacency
Arises atrocity.
_
The longer people say
‘Look at the beautiful flowers - see
How they shine in the dark’
_
The longer they ignore the dark.
_
It creeps in from under the shining flowers.
_
The darkness from which
Monsters rise.
