The Quiet Yet Evil Clowns

He is the greatest of killers,

the most evil of monsters,

the most cunning of all the maestro’s demons.

He is subtle.

He sits in silence,

his name rarely spoken.

His purpose is ruin,

not only on the surface,

but the destruction of all living things.

Yet he does not work alone.

He forms a quiet alliance with his twin brother — Guilt.

Guilt and Shame,

clown-like spirits,

laughing, mocking,

playing at your demise

as if it were a game.

Together, they devour without restraint,

consuming all that is good,

seeking to corrupt every pure and perfect creation.

Shame and Guilt,

two of the most insidious spirits,

work in tandem, unseen yet powerful.

So be watchful.

Name them, and

Call them out.

And seek forgiveness always,

before they take hold

of your soul.
