Bonnie and Clyde
had a helluva ride
stealing and killing
and staying alive
til’ they got riddled
rata-tat-tat
end of the ride
end of the line
nothing sublime

Oh Dark One, purveyor of evil, time traveler,
spanner of eons, how deftly you intuit weakness,
squeeze your fetid intentions into hopeful souls
defaming histories once noble and good.
Is it true that you must be? Could we not
imagine a life quite lovely without you?
Or have we in our veiled ignorance simply
designed you for clarity and meaning?
Perhaps you do not exist at all.
