Carbide

(another older one reposted)

Slinking spirit
drapes languid
over a toothy mind.
The shadow of a villain
drifting within
the confines
of code, of honor…
Fighting for truth
but lusting to clash
against daunting darkness
for the opportunity
it affords
to unsheathe
steely claws.
Only for good
can my evil
come out to play.
