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
