contemplativeMonster Waits
The monster patiently bides its time
knowing events will coincide
to release them from their cage
exact a vengeance with certain rage
not with a voice that roars above
the crowd assuring all is well
instead the words are whispered tones
slicing deep when one's alone
insisting that the end is near
there is no connection with close peers
instead the fiend cruelly states
escape is assured when you're dead
this left-hand path that most deny
is the monster's greatest lie
foisted on the victim's mind
when the monster bides its time.
