Monsters ( Inspired by Jadembers)

 

When I was a child
I was scared of the
Monsters there
They say all children
Are afraid of monsters
I was not
I loved Frankenstein
And Wolf man movies
The Mummy, the Blob
It came from outer space
Dracula, the Ghoul, Jason
And the Argonaughts
Even as a child
I found them funny
They made me laugh
They made me giggle
I was never afraid of
Ghosts or goblins
Jungle Beasts and
Monsters of the deep
Raised laughter fits
Seems a bit unusual?

Somehow I knew
That those monsters
Held no fear for me
Call it lessons learned
Even as an adult now
I know that we don’t
Have to fear those
Kind of monsters
But there are monsters
As real as you and I
And they are far more
Evil than any of the
Monster in fiction
These monsters need
To be feared
You need to watch your
Back or your front
For the real evil ones
They are not the devil
Or any of his demons

These demons
These monsters
From my childhood
And my adulthood
Are all human
No exceptions
They talk to us
In your own
Language
They breath the
Same air
And without a
Single thought
They’ll damage you
In a way you can’t
Recover from

What’s that disease?
The one that destroys
All your memories?
Can’t remember its name
At the moment
I’ll come back to me
I was thinking, maybe
That is the brain shutting
Down bit by bit, starting
With the memories
Of human monsters
I hope that is true
I’ve been getting
So forgetful lately
Time for sleep
