The Real Monsters

The Real Monsters We are afraid of fire breathing dragons and scaly lizards. Things that go bump in the night. Shadow creatures who live under our beds and in our closets. Yeti and Big Foot. Pale ghosts and poltergeists. Chupacabra’s and vampires. Blood red demons with pitchforks and horns. Imaginary monsters that can do us no real harm. Why do we fear them. What we should be afraid of are people who chose evil. MS13 and coyotes that traffic in human misery. Corporate media giants that censor speech. Corrupt politicians who sell us out to foreign countries. School boards that label parents terrorists. Dictators that oppress. Political correctness. Murders, abusers, gossips, embezzelers. Wars, hatred and genocide. We should fear these. For they are the real monsters.
