The Children Are the First To Understand
The selfish human
will either have to purposefully
look like poison ivy or poison sumac
which has betrayed a lot of people
or emit a feeling of a really nasty plant that has
scratched, penetrated,or thorned
many in another unpleasant way.
Otherwise, she will be trusted into
another wonderful family, spreading
her poison in the most angry of ways.
The children are the first to understand.
They expose the monster, but are not
believed at first, as humans have a natural
tendency to want to nurture and rescue their she-monsters.
