Monsters, They Call Us

A Miscarriage of Justice

Monsters, they call us

Our visage the only crime

We’ve now returned to dust

Our breath a mighty gust

Oft entwined with fire

Monsters, they call us

Misunderstanding breeds distrust

For their fear we pay with life

We’ve now returned to dust

Painted as if for blood we lust

As though surviving deserves a fine

Monsters, they call us

They hurl spears, breaking trust

In vain we fight for a life

We’ve now returned to dust

The court of humans far from just

Condemned by our stature so high

Monsters, they call us

We’ve now returned to dust
