HYPNO
Hypno saunters into town
Plotting evil in his mind,
Hoping to enthrall innocents
Or anyone he can find.
He can bend the will of criminals
To make them go on a killing spree,
But he prefers the good at heart
To bend them to his needs.
Chaos is his only goal in life
A life he's yearning for,
He corrupts the wholesome
To do evil acts by the score.
He makes women kill their kids
And, husbands murder their wives,
Secretaries turn on their bosses
Killing them with carving knives.
Hypno enthralls the guileless
To change them from good to evil,
Then sends them on killing sprees
Just to sate his hatred of people.
Hypno bends the will of many
To commit his evil deeds,
Sating his love of mayhem
Fulfilling his morbid needs.
He loves to start riots
Within a peaceful little town,
Anything to stop the harmony
To bring the virtuous down.
