Found The Monster

Under your bed and inside the closet

You fear the places you know to hide monsters

Each night and each morning a quick check you make

Hoping no monster can see your arms shake

But what of your Congress?

Your TV, your comics?

Did you really think that they had no monsters?

Look in their eyes now

What do you see?

Nothing?

Oh my, well how can that be?

I'll tell you my dear if you just sit and listen

I'll tell you how some make deals with a demon

In old times a demon had to be summoned

Bound to a person by contract and coven

Demons will do whatever you please

All for a rather unusual fee

They'd want neither jewels, silver, nor gold

Rather they'd charge you the price of your soul

Not much has changed from then until now

But each day they're called up from the ground

Politicians will get them to win their elections

Celebrities get them to smooth their complexions

Singers will use them to upgrade their voice

Because producers will rarely give them a choice

"But how can you spot them?" you may think to ask

Demons do wear their bound like a mask

Anyone you suspect, just look in their eyes

And you will see if they're full of lies

People with souls show vibrance and life

And for their passion, they'll put up a fight

But demons slowly take over hosts' minds

And one day you'll notice their dark, empty eyes

Now that's all my dear, for it's time for bed

And don't let your eyes bug out of your head

Stop being silly, I'm not an imposter

You just fear the places you know to hide monsters
