What makes a monster a monster?
Is it it's teeth or claws?
Or maybe its wicked tail?
I have seen a scarier beast,
that looks like you and me.
How does it do such terrible things?
Without breathing fire,
or bearing its razor fangs.
This monster comes when quiet,
and leaves in agony, pain, and riot.
It tears apart families, friends, and strangers.
Escaping remorse,
and denying regret.
This monster is a pathogen,
slowly destroying it's host within.
It starts with a lie or in anger.
Evolving it grows,
eating the infected.
Until it rears it ugly head,
in a moment of weakness it's fed.
