Monsters

Believe it or not, their ubiquitous webs Are everywhere; they are the dictators Who kidnap, maim, torture and kill teachers, Poets, ordinary folks and babies in their cribs. They rob and ransack innocent citizens, Steal elections and after a lifetime in power, Categorically refuse to leave the tower. Very often, they do everything to muzzle the chickens. Monsters are constantly in disguise, They are well dressed, they wear uniforms, They know how to blend and to socialize. Monsters, at every turn, want to control the dorms, Manipulate the data, fool the media, Hire henchmen and spread false propaganda. Monsters behave like manipulative magicians, They suck the air out of the innocent bystanders, Befriend desperate and hungry musicians, Surreptitiously inveigle the neighbors To exteriorize their feelings, and they spy and lie, At every opportunity; and at every occasion, They bury their preys alive in the dungeon. Believe it or not, monsters are like rats, Their appetite is insatiable; they crawl under the mats, Bite babies, steal millions, and hide the money in overseas coffers; They rape young boys and girls, and destroy the future of many. The revolution was not done right ‘cause the kidnappers, The pick pockets and their accomplices are still under the tree. Those raccoons, those bedbugs don't go away easily. They outlive the exterminators. Those goons are really bright. Be cautious, because they are out there day and night, Operating at every meeting and at every party. Believe it or not, all bad things must come to an end: The lies, the crimes, and the arbitrary executions of the church band.
