The Bad People

Are The Bad People in the majority, 

or do they just shout the loudest?

Are The Bad People so powerful 

because they appeal to The Bad in others?

When it comes down to it, is the call to do Bad

stronger than the call to do Good,

and do The Bad People feast on this fact

like vultures at a carcass?

Are The Bad People really all Bad,

or does some Good exist within them?

Do The Bad People lie awake some nights,

doubt gnawing silently at their bones?

Are The Bad People really people,

or do they just live in the minds of The Good?

If The Bad People live in the minds of The Good,

does that mean The Good have some Bad in them too?

Do The Bad People love their children?

At the end of the day, we all want to survive.

Are The Bad People in the majority, 

or do they just shout the loudest?
