Beware, Take Care...

Beware nature-incentivized monsters
of deceit, skilled at devouring the
spirit of others, spitting out the hollow,
wasted shell devoid of its original
essence, leaving the gift to oneself of
a de-spirited persona, the toy of its owner.

A pause for pity extended toward those
entrapped in the oblivion of vacuity
where free will has been abandoned
to the inexorable will of the commander
of souls - whose controlling need to
entirely possess, control, instruct,


demand, coerce - leaves a barren landscape
of broken spirits behind to mourn and
grieve their lost lives. Because the
stalker whose gentle persona wears a
disarming smile and voices tender assurances.

If she relentlessly cajoles and pouts,
and if he unceasingly threatens and shouts
examine the unlived life carefully for
nature's aberrant errors and consider
with care the option of returning that
insatiable devourer to its sender.
