May 2012
Its very eyes demand existence
Its complexion is as dark as night
Its mouth oozes with uncertainty
Its presence demands fright

One cannot just stare into its eyes
without losing oneself in the dark
Its words beckons the strong
Then eats them like a shark

With this monster
There is no discrimination
With this monster
There is only intimidation

Its trials are absolute hell
Its games are sadistic
Laying obstacle after obstacle
Until someone goes ballistic

This mysterious monster has but one name
Its occupation is this: an abuser
Its a name that strikes fear in all but the brave
Its name is this: the future
