The Jinx

The Jinx,
A thing of evil,
Like a horrible parasite,
It clings to the soul of a group,
And destroys it,
From the inside out.

It feeds off the slightest of dislikes,
Turning them from mere dislikes,
Into serious problems,
Causing one person to hate another.

Clear-the-air talks would be held,
But the so called peace meeting
Would descend into bickering,
Then the bickering would descend into fighting.

A neutral of the group would try to stop it,
But then the fight between two,
Would turn into a fight between three,
And before long,
The entire group would be at each other throats...

And as their friendship falls apart around them,
The Jinx would move on again,
Content that its job had been done,
While being ready to strike again,
At the core of another unsuspecting group of friends.
