Who Am I?

Location

Do you walk on two legs or four?

Is your soul free of hate?

Are you sure you're not an animal

In a sophisticated state?

 

I am not an animal

No need for legs or arms

I am the tenacious buffalo

I am snake's deadly charm

 

I am beauty unimagineable

There's no limit to my strength

Power inescapeable

Reaching any length

 

I'm in every book you've ever read

And every nightmare, too

I'm the monster in your closet

The thing that finally kills you

 

But there's one thing I cannot boast

Though it pains me to admit

I know not of joy and pleasure

Despite my charm and wit

 

Attractive I may seem

Wicked, indeed I am

I have no delight or happiness

I am Keeper of the Damned
