Ancient wisdom
lies in bones
The StoneAge
didn't end
for lack of stones
m o n s t e r .
M o n s t e r s . .
e v e r y w h e r e
whispering
in a many ears
loud enough
to stoke our fears
soft enough
that we still hear
playing games
of truth or dare
monsters and their concubines
corrupt before we realize
m o n s t e r .
M o n s t e r s . .
telling truth
the many branches
are the root
the leaves that fall
aren’t leaves at all
b u t
the devil’s call
to sacred fruit
m o n s t e r .
M o n s t e r s . .
p l a y a n d h i d e
at sleight
and
hopscotched truth
in dead of night
m o n s t e r .
M o n s t e r s . .
h e l d m y b r e a t h
that I can't breathe
and blind my eyes
that I don't see
t h e y c o m e f o r m e
I'm alone
and all the monsters
are at home
w h e n
every blessing
is a curse
every word
becomes a verse
souls have fallen
where they stand
in ashened grey of no man's land
all my colours . .
deeper shades of sombre thoughts and darkened days
intent designed
to survive
lies contrived
to multiply
atomised
in air as dust
oxidised
in minds like rust
m o n s t e r .
M o n s t e r s . .
promises
camouflaged truths that’s all it is
T h e A m e r i c a n D r e a m
ain’t what it seems
it's just another
