Road to Evol

At some vague dawn, there was a new start
Within a strange road of sand, stone and grey earth
Step further, step closer,
Walked a little boy, of a starving kind
(A meager pawn)

But yet, somehow he managed to find and carve his hands
Around a very uncommon tree
An Evol one, far as he could see
He noticed her fruits,
The so long waited results of his seek
And asked her if she would feed him
But she avoided him and said:
“What’s’ this? Such a little boy!
You’re far too young and ugly for my fruits ya know?!”
The boy turned sad but kept his march
At the rear, the Evol tree,
In spite of the harsh words
Fell so attached to him
“Enjoy you’re lucky morning little boy,
My fruits were poisoned and it’s safer this way,
Cause you shall not wither like this pale shade”

Step on step he quietly stalked through the road
But there was no such thing as an end.
Yet, another Evol tree he found!
She smiled to him
And he felt joy while staring at such beauty green
“Boy, I’ll let you taste me, but I won’t let you eat!”
“But, why pretty Evol, I’m so faint, almost like ready to fade away”
“Because I’m the greedy kind, a whore amongst the others,
And I shall not let you bite what I reserved for so many others.
Go away now little boy!”
And so that morning went late
And swiftly, the afternoon claimed the rights of fate.
Wandering, the little boy prayed
His inside was yelling, hurting him
And his mouth was now dry but even so,
Hope and resolve, somewhere lingered on.

Another tree at the horizon he discerned
Her beauty was far unexpected
And to reach her, he vigorously ran.
“Please! Will you feed me, my promised Evol?”
To awake once more, she mumbled
“Heaven, what do we have here? What a funny little boy!
How can I not love you?”
His heart glittered
And in brief moments he burned in such warm
Although, each single step further, he only got harm.
“I’m in love with you little boy, but please notice,
I already belong to another one… you shall not touch me, as I am the forbidden one”
Astonished he fell and the afternoon kept moving
While he was getting weak… so thin, so pale, I bet that even sick.
Afar, the third Evol yet mumbled: “You little fool, if you had fight for me,
I would have feed you for so many years”.

Heavy, sad and wounded
Yet, he kept the march straight
Until his knees, hundreds of steps ahead, finally admitted defeat
However he forced himself to believe and regained some of his lost faith
While watching two more Evol trees
Standing near, would any make him free?
He picked the first and pledge for some fruit.
“Such a pretty boy you are… I can clearly see through your starve and thirst,
I’m even tempted to give you some!”
But he did not smile this time, as he were far concerned
With the word lying beneath: threat!
“Smart, too smart you are and that I did not expect,
I am in fact, a hallucinogenic type!
I eagerly would had consumed you’re nerves,
Burning you in lies and illusions
Until your head turned mad!”

All what he had left, was to give one short attempt to the next.
And finally, after long holding his breath he asked:
“Oh gentle Evol, your leafs are golden and your charm overwhelms me,
But please tell me which kind you belong”
“For you little boy I have such good news,
I’m the type that never will let you go or stand frozen anymore”
“Will you feed me then?”
“No, little boy, I shall not feed you… but I’ll let you convince me”
“So, if I try harder, will I reach you?”
“No, little boy, that’s impossible and it will always be!”
He dropped his eyes and sustained the bitterness for a while…
“Evol, you were so lively and joyful, and now you’re showing all that awful crap,
But, you see, I’m not your toy and I’ll say NO to such warp!”
The other Evol laughed… “Silly little boy, will you not ask her again about her nature?”
“No, I do not need such lecture as I can see how rotten she is,
I couldn’t possible dream about any further future along with someone like this.”

He cried while following the road once more
He felt alone, sad and lost but one thing he resolved,
“Under this beautiful sunset I shall run ‘till consume my final strength!”
His legs tried hard and he moved more than a mile,
But eventually he fell straight to the soil…
He knew well who were standing close
And without his breath he mumbled at his best:
“Hello to you, one more Evol, I guess I just found you a bit late,
Unless you can feed me, but I really doubt you will.
I even bet that you’ll leave me, letting me lie beneath,
Just starving to death”.
“Hello young man, perhaps you see further too more,
But I’m the untouchable kind alright”
“I know you are, and that’s what it makes all my body shivers like this.
Some said that I’m clumsy, bashful, ugly, bad, sick, unworthy and even forever unwanted,
But I deeply would care if you just witness in me more than that.”

The Evol nothing said
And the night smoothly rouses instead
There were stars lighten the horizon
And the road seemed to go on ceaselessly
But without more Evols around,
They both couldn’t enlighten a single thought
His belly was hurting vast
But we all know well the kind of cast
Below that Evol, the little boy were almost falling asleep
In spite of his efforts nothing yet she had spoken
Bond to the ground he turned his head down
And observed, lost in his stare
How he were a clown for believing in such things
The world isn’t fair and what you seek is rare but this he knew well
And even so, he mumbled once more:
“I barely can hide this acerbic mood anymore. Evol, that constantly wanders on the moon,
Will you really let me wither here so soon?”
