Draw a monster.

A hideous face covered in wrinkles,

Milky eyes that see into the soul,

Haggard teeth that hang loose in a perpetual grin.

Draw a monster.

Harsh words and harsher actions,

Evidence littering frail bodies,

Concealed under threats of torture.

Draw a monster.

The unassuming man in the corner,

With crow’s feet around his eyes

And a smile that contrasts his heart.

Draw a monster.

Teeth as sharp as knives,

A pale form that grows and grows,

Creating shadows within itself.

Draw a monster.

Beauty beyond compare,

As sweet as a summer breeze,

False compassion hiding the horror within.

Draw a monster.

Hidden in the most sacred places,

Faith can’t save the sinner

And darkness creeps closer than ever before.

Draw a monster.

Rotten flesh dripping from limbs,

A brainless, soulless mass of hatred,

A thing the worst pain cannot stop.

Draw a monster.

Why is it a monster?
