Monster's Path

For all the children who cross monster’s path Beware of his cold-heart and his great wrath Don’t look into his eyes; they’ll draw you in And once you’re there, you can’t get out, you can’t win It’ll be a long journey; a rough ride No matter where you turn, there will be no where to hide The storm clouds will rush over and cover your head Thunder bolt memories shall haunt you ‘till your dead This monster will be your friend to begin with, but his ways will turn He will take your dreams, and up in smoke they’ll burn All you can hope for is the safety of others who follow behind You hope you can get your message out just in time Tell them to look the other way; don’t step on his playing field Don’t be a target, keep up your shield Don’t let it be the monster’s fangs that haunt you in your sleep Don’t let it be an untrustworthy heart that you will forever keep Don’t let it be you who sits in his dungeon and waits to be released Because all you are to him is a monstrous feast Those tears you cry don’t matter, except to maybe you And you’ll keep crying them because there is nothing else you can do In the end it’s bloody; you’ll pay the ultimate sacrifice Maybe he’ll be satisfied and let others live their lives

This was a good poem, but I have to ask. Who or what is the monster? There are so many in life that fit the bill. The imagination wanders. I still enjoyed it though. Rockman
