There was once a monster

Mean and cruel

Known for hurting anyone

that it ever knew.

It is said to kill all in its path.

And stalk the darkness.

That surrounded the village edge.

Little ones tried to stay.

Far away

But still, one would be lost.

What if I told you this old tale isn’t a pure myth?

What if I told you it was based on the truth?

The setting is always different, and the victims are too.

The only lie is the monster is not a monster, but mankind.
