Where Monsters Can Grow

Beware of the monsters
Who dwell in the mind,
Who grow in the shelter
Of shadows they find.

Beware of the demons

Who hide from the light,
Who only survive
When our spirits lose sight.

Those creatures can thrive

Where our knowledge is low;
They fill in the spaces
Of what we don’t know.

Beware of the monsters

That cause us to hate,
To strike out in anger
When we can’t relate.

For ignorance darkens

The mind and the heart,
And helps all our monsters
To tear us apart.

But learning and thinking

Will strengthen us so
We won’t be the places
Where monsters can grow.
