Today’s word is “picaresque” … of, relating to, or resembling rogues (Dictionary.com)
Alert
I used to think that villains,
We’re only on the screen,
That our real life, surely,
Did not contain the mean.
But the picaresque ones,
Inhabit all our spaces,
And are not revealed,
By the looks upon their faces.
In fact they are so sly,
That they disguise and disassemble,
Making them more dangerous,
When recognized, we tremble.
We may never understand,
Why these evil ones exist,
All we can do is love and pray,
And in the end, resist.
