Monster

Why do you stare at me?
What have I done to you?
You do not know me
You can’t see inside me

My thoughts turn to darkness
Whenever I see you
My stone-headed puppets
Who obey my commands

I would push the big red button
If I thought it would end the pain
Wipe out the hovering ghosts
That flit within my empty skull

They gave me the codes to make it happen
The protocols to be ignored
In an instant of desperation
I would end this infested world

--

I am a monster
That’s what they say
My enemies abound
Around and around
I am a monster
A creature of pain
Inflictor of suffering
Deliberately evil

--

If you can see my hidden face
Buried beneath the orange layers
I will find you, I will destroy you
So my secrets are not revealed

If you witness my uncountable crimes
I will turn the tables on you
Until your name is stricken
From this world forever

A warning from this monster
