We call them monsters,

Things from south of us

Brought in by ships with wrathful faces

Screaming with the force of a thousand suns.

​

We call them monsters,

We whip them and tell them they're worthless,

Unreliable.

We force them to do what we want.

​

Look in the mirror,

and tell me one thing,

are they the monsters that we are so scared of?

​

I look in the eyes of a monster,

but all I see is myself staring back,

I am nothing but the monster that we are so fearful of.
