Dark Side

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Aug 16, 2019 

Humanities 
underbelly.
A place
less visible.
Yet, true
nonetheless.
Why?
Why this seedy
aspect of 
human nature?
Writhing influence
on the soul
of mankind.
Hidden 
in the
shadows.
Pervasive.
Bubbling to
the fore. 
Pushing the
envelope of
normalcy.
Generation
to the next.
Pushing the
envelope 
of decency.
Dark primitive 
impulse.
Control,
trying to
control.
Trying to
derail humanities 
promising 
future.
Acceptance of
this realm.
Dark stain
on humanities 
soul!
