About evil…Hannah Arendt and us

The devil has no horns

He will seem normal,even wonderful

He needs to deceive so he is not plain

about revealing his true nature,

No,of course,it’s obvious that he must be in disguise.

He might be you or me.

Don’t trust the ones who charm.

Or those who boast of their goodness

Don’t you see,that’s exactly what he would do.

Is he going to come out straight away?

No,first he must cast a spell on you

Then you will do as he says

And claim  what you did was quite alright

Because how could you or I be evil?
