Addressing the Beast

 it’s not a fig leaf
you may not want to tear it down
here’s a watchful eye
which sees your dark soul
cloistered in erroneous beliefs
your primacy is felony
but you strive hard
to keep myths alive
get entrenched further
in cesspools
of your own making
 
I would’ve welcomed you
a companion, a partner
to live for a cause
to live in peace
to survive
but you lost
what you had
when will you realize,
O Man?
you live in muck
but don’t thrive
