DEMONS IN DAYLIGHT

DEMONS IN DAYLIGHT

Up until now, they always hid from view

But then appeared whenever called upon

Taking all that was perceived as their due

Leaving us bereft, as if all hope had gone

But no longer just denizens of the night

With no shame, they’re here in the day

No longer being frightened by the light

Chuckling and sneering as if now at play

The first time they’ve been clearly seen

Disfigured, as if one could even feel pity

The pain they bring is a disgusting scene

Like rats, now more common in the city

They are but evil minions and low grade

But still they will haunt almost everyone

Always with their widest grins displayed

We are facing a danger of being overrun

We can only apply the poisons at hand

Love and respect, with warning so stark

But it’s something they can’t understand

And rid these demons, back to the dark
