The Punishment

Is it my fault?

Evil succeeds.
Yet here am I
No evil in my eye
And I am the one
Whose life has gone awry.

Evil survives.
Plenty are fine
Yet I am the one
Who suffered
Heartstrings undone.

Evil flourishes.
Monsters in all corners
Am I one too?
I don't understand
What I must do.

Evil bathes.
I have no will
No grasp
Of what I could do
To my evil undo.
