Double-Edged Sword

Cuts and Heals

By Vicious AvaricePublished 2 years ago 1 min read

I have done more good

And more bad in one lifetime

Than most of humanity

Could ever conceptualize

I have told so many lies

That veracity is un-achievable

So many truths

That deception lost its power

I have swayed more people than I’ve met

Dismayed in rumor those I will never meet

I have saved lives

And I have ended them

Those who try to understand me

Go mad

Because even if I were to meticulously explain

I have no basis of understanding

“Why?” Has no meaning

If there isn’t an answer to find

Stop holds no sway

If there was never a start

If you understand

Then I’ve no reason to explain

If you don’t

I couldn’t if I tried
