accumulating beliefs
about forgiving the misgivings
of an innocent evildoer;
for he knows not
what he does to hurt us.

he is but under a spell,
some sort of enchantment;
one that makes him deaf
and unwilling to listen
to the words of the wise,
and as such, his heart is cold;
made so by the fires that burn
deep, deep in the bowels if his own soul.

a power so powerful,
that he could not grow into its control,
and he is now lost in the madness,
the madness of his own mind.
