The Monstrous

We are now swimming with the monsters,
being small and weak
we growl and behave like them,
so that we blend and not offend.

The monsters are feeding
on the souls of the forgotten,
civilizations have sunk
beneath the weight of hate.

The monsters are devils
they look like you and I.
They have a cause,
the monstrous always have a cause
and a reason,
just as we do.
