Because of What We Are, It Grows

The world may be evil.

The universe may be evil.

Hell, God



May be evil or, worse,

Indifferent, per Hardy

And Crane,



But people, even bad

People, are not evil, not 

The source



Of evil. At worst,

We are to evil what

Dry pines



Are to leaping, rampaging,

Death-dealing, all-consuming

Wildfire.
