Part l "The Foe of Nefariousness"

by ddavidd   May 30, 2025


Hello, hello, my friend—
the foe of nefariousness—

Not one who conspires with silence
to bury the Just.
Not one who stands numbly
as the gates of fairness are torn down.
Not one who hoses clean the tanks
that crush the bodies of children.
Not the hand that wipes the blade
his idols used to stab
the backs of rivals and innocents.
Not the doctor who lets the sickness spread
for lack of coin.
Not one who sees the truth—
and turns away,
just to stay safe.
Not the teacher who cuts a grade
to punish a soul
for daring to shine.
