Be afraid of the monsters that hide in the light, in plain sight,
not the ones that lurk in the dark.
Be afraid of the monsters who sit in ivory towers.
On thrones.
On pedestals, we built for them.
They peddle knowledge and wisdom with a smile.
They offer kindness wrapped in sharp nails.
They speak of light, beauty and truth, as we gaze up at them, hypnotized by their brilliance.
The monster in the light makes promises.
Takes what it wants.
When it wants.
The monster in the shadows promises nothing.
At least you know where you stand.
