He Stepped Inside

The key was inside the lock

He went forward and opened the door

Alone and unobserved he entered

To find the gullible and the willing

He latched onto those who deprecated others

The resentful he nurtured

Unseen he cast his net far and wide

He appointed leaders to receive adulation

Their prupose and strength he fortified

He gave them full rein for their perverse ideas

Brutality and violence sprouted forth

He was delighted with the success of his hands

A conquest to suffocate good will and love

He danced a jig as their joy sank into suffering

Their demise was his ultimate goal

A supreme victory

His handiwork completed he rejoiced

Until he heard the sound of the door

Being locked behind him

He was trapped in the hell of his own making

Together with his proteges he squirmed and burned

His opportunity and creation was his downfall

into the abyss of eternal destruction
