Monsters Inside

by Mike Stevens

Once so distant, but the horizon is here
Became reality through superstition's fear
 
The monsters inside have come alive,
Allowing racism, sexism, and hatred to thrive
 
Black hole where our reasoning used to be
Now we watch the world unable to see
 
Truth a victim of tyrants and selfish kings
But we're to blame, dance as they pull the strings
 
Yet we won't admit that our mind's not our own,
Controlled by an ego who already sits on a throne
 
In his mind; the authors of our own destruction,
Victims of a delusion of a madman's construction
