Of wickedness - #NaPoWriMo2018 Day15

My poetry for NaPoWriMo day 15 Basis the prompt.”And now for our prompt (optional, as always). In her interview, Blake suggests writing a poem in which a villain faces an unfortunate situation, and is revealed to be human (but still evil). Perhaps this could mean the witch from Hansel & Gretel has lost her beloved cat, and is going about the neighborhood sticking up heart-wrenching “Lost Cat” signs, but still finds human children delicious. Maybe Blackbeard the Pirate is lost at sea in an open boat, remembering how much he loved his grandmother (although he will still kill the first person dumb enough to scoop him from the waves).”

 I will only do what I want
At the cost of anyone’s emotions at all

Wickedness was in her blood 
Doing bad was her normal

She Ill-treated her niece
Hardly gave her a food piece
The little soul starved 
But goodwill and help sailed the baby along

Time passed fast
Aunty grew old and not so strong
Her granddaughter had an issue 
Swallowing was not possible for her tissue
Aunty made yummy food
The little one could not swallow it in any mood

Time turned it tables
Aunty sobbed , emotions became uncontrollable 
Prayed to god, let a miracle take place
Please let the little one eat , please bestow some grace

A neighbor turned to aunty for some monetary help
She insulted him there without offering any help
Attitude didn’t change her wickedness remains
It’s in the blood situations can’t change
