The Evil That Men Do
By LFM
Everyone’s the villain in
Another person’s tale.
The hoarder of all happiness,
The cause of every fail.
The villain need not make a move
By deed or word or thought,
Than benefit from any good
His midnight oil has wrought.
The victim seeks to claim the prize
Denying how it’s done,
Decrying right and title to
What diligence has won.
Yet both sides know a secret that
No victim will confess —
There’s half a life of striving
To an overnight success.
I’ve noticed. Might even be more than half a life.
