Monster on the Leash
The monster is held on the leash
so hopes the masters who retreat
to fighting fire with their own
when darkness falls on their homes
even though their tamed beast
would be construed as obscene
by any measure brought to bear
this damnation all should fear
attacking targets of their choice
assurance given they’ll be destroyed
with collateral that may extend
to believers of their blend
some shared blood must be shed
for the offense to be led
by the monster on the leash
pray that links remain complete.
