The Real Monsters


Monster

A 7 Letter Word

It scares us

Not the ones in Fairy Tails

The real ones

They’re all around us

Blank faces in the dark

They’re murderous

Taking our happiness away

The creatures

The one that took Sandra Bland 

Everyone see's for who they really are

The monsters 

That hide their faces in the dark

The one that took Eric Gardner

The ones hidden within the people we must trust 

Yes the racist

And the rapist 

The things that the government dont want us to know

The ones that took 76 unarmed people of color

they are the real monsters 

Not the ones you hear in stories 

The real ones 

How should we feel 

Now that we unmasked 

The Real Monsters
