The Beast


   The Beast is in the yard.
   Says he's a vegetarian,
   But I wonder at the blood.

   He has a verbiage that means naught!
   As a Beast,
   He eats a lot.

   My neighbors, friends, and workers disappear!
   Their wives and children,
   Say the Beast was near!

   He says he's a vegetarian.
   But someone's meat,
   Is in his teeth!

   No social services for him.
   No healthcare,
   No food stamps in the end.

   As a vegetarian,
   The Beast doesn't care.
   About anyone from over there!

   His brow is clear.
   Claws stained with ink.
   I think its blood and innards that stink.
