There Be Monsters

John Prophet


We who
are born
in our
minuscule
cradle
in the
cosmos
see monsters.
We see monsters
in our cradle having
been born
with us.
We see monsters
coming at us from
below.
We see monsters
in the great beyond.
We see monsters
in different realms.
We see monsters
everywhere.
Monsters exist in
our minds.
We must keep
vigilant against
the monsters lest they
rule it all.

    The only monsters we need to be worried by are the politicians.

    • John Prophet

      In this day and age you are absolutely correct.
      Thank you for reading my work.

      And in some lifetimes, we see monsters in the mirror. We all take exploratory trips to the dark side. Good write, JG!

        Hi Louis,
        Spoken like a man who’s been around the block a time or two.
        Agree completely.
        Thank you for reading my work.

        It's only E.T. I expect - the one in the film, not monstrous aliens!
