Monsters Everywhere

Monsters roam the Earth,
In every shape and form.
There's monsters in the high schools,
And in a college dorm.

There's monsters on the streets,
And monsters in the courts.
There's monsters wearing suits,
And monsters wearing shorts.

There's some in hooded whites,
And some in powdered blue.
There's monsters forming gangs,
That want to rip us all in two 

There's monsters on the Left,
And monsters on the Right.
There's monsters now in Congress,
Just looking for a fight.

There's monsters at the Pentagon,
And even on our bases.
There's monsters that are hidden,
Without any faces.

There's monsters on TV,
And on the Internet.
There's monsters on the radio,
We haven't even met.

There's monsters in cathedrals,
And behind prison walls.
There's monsters on the playground,
Lurking in bathroom stalls.

There's monsters in a penthouse,
And monsters in a shack.
There's some you think a friend,
That'll stab you in the back.

The ones that scare me most,
And fills my heart with dread.
Are those evil little monsters,
That live inside my head.

Things sure seem bleak out there, but I'm not sure if it's too much social media hitting us with negative thoughts.
