DownTheRabbitHole2
This is a poem, as you probably have noticed, not a story. It deals with the concept of the source of evil, something philosophers and scholars have always searched for. The rabbit hole represents a journey through the modern world. As the main character falls through this hole, he sees several acts of evil. Yet everytime, he turns away. With the last act, he very much tried not to, but his weaker self had the control over him. His heart turned, and as he looked back, he could see himself killing the child. This was a representation of what happens when we turn away. When we do not help, we might as well be the one comitting the act, for God sees us no better than the criminal. Lastly, when he got to the actual source of the rabbit hole, he found himself back on his bench looking at the crowds. He then realises that the source of the evil in the world is in fact us, since evil is a central part of who we are. Evil exists because we allow it to. And the more we turn our hearts to it, the harder it will be to turn back.
