Sentient Valentine

Having spent lifetimes
learning evil’s ways
as we all consciously
or not must be doing
here beginning with
our very own friends
and families the first
thing to overcome is
one’s prejudice against it
while maintaining vigilance
at an imaginative level
knowing all along
there is no such dragon
intelligent compassion
can’t overwhelm and topple
when it is awakened
and when it is working
