And All Monsters of its Kind

AND ALL MONSTERS OF ITS KIND

 

It has me in its control today

 

This Beast that comes and goes

 

To delight in my misery.

 

It feeds on fear and human suffering

 

Like all monsters of its kind.

 

And one day it may steal my thoughts

 

My dignity and my mind.

 

But  it  can  never have my soul.

 

That belongs to me alone..

 

Ashes to ashes.

 

Dust to dust.

That will be in Christ’s name

 

Its last and only victory..
— Geremia, Oct 17, 2009

Damn and blast their devilish defilements

Only you could tackle the BEAST,  only you, the youngest  could step up against the odds and become a victor in your soul, those with their beliefs are far less armed with love and valour, power of worth, belief in themselves  than, in fact, you are;  you have the staff of life in your hand and can stop the sea from drowning you, if you make a firm stand I believe that. I admire your reticent language, only above in the comment did you let loose your anger with words more used by modern youth. I expect your BEAST brings out more potent words of anger, as you endure their damnable presence and you wish to really give them what for- to put it as my parents age would!!!! Damn and blast their devilish defilements, we are all armed here, but can make so little impact on their wiles, would that we could, you would have quite an army here I think! Your Annuccia with love.
