Analysis of Monsters

Our greatest fears arise
From the darkness of our soul,
The wickedness within us
That we can't restrain.

We see monsters in the night
But it's our own kind
Whose deeds give us horror
Their madness and crimes.

We proclaim to be civilized
But our actions speak differently.
The beasts in the wilderness
Are gentle, compared to our disguise.

Our hearts are full of greed.
Our hands stained with blood.
We destroy what we don't require,
And leave the earth in ruins

The fear we feel is real.
The monsters are within.
It's time to face the truth
Of what lies beneath our disposition.

As long as we deny
Our savage nature inside,
Our greatest fears will arise,
And we'll have nowhere to hunker down.
