The Reality of the Demon
Look closer
Deeper into the shadows
Hidden from the normal reality
They lurk
Creeping and crawling
Sharpening its claws
Ripping the truths that you know
That’s how they do it
Building hatred and distrust
Turning man against their brothers
Seeking to spill innocent blood
They burrow into our souls
Spreading their venomous ideas
For their survival depends on it
Survival in weak minds
Minds unable to think
Unwilling to look closer
Through the darkness
Into the endless shadows
To look with the light of an open mind
You won’t try to see what is real
Unable to see the world around you
The hatred and distrust grows
And the demon is shared through countless tales
And their reality grows
While the true reality fades
Never to be seen again
