There Be Monsters

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Oct 11, 2017 

We who 
are born 
in our
minuscule 
cradle 
in the 
cosmos
see monsters.
We see monsters
in our cradle having
been born 
with us.
We see monsters 
coming at us from
below.
We see monsters 
in the great beyond.
We see monsters 
in different realms.
We see monsters 
everywhere.
Monsters exist in
our minds. 
We must keep
vigilant against 
the monsters lest they
rule it all.
