The Beast - with audio

audio link

The beast came out again
It came out of my hide where
He had been lurking just beneath the surface

He comes to destroy and consume
To obliterate all
All that would stand in his way

Where does he come from
What catapults him into the light of day
Up and out of the darkness

I think he feels entitled
Yes, entitled to a life of leisure
A life that does not exist

He cares not, nor empathizes a little
He is a fire that consumes
Even his own soul

I need Superman to come and defeat him
To cast him down into a deep cavern
And then cover the entrance with a giant boulder

Maybe NASA could send him to Mars
Or perhaps a Telsa particle beam
Could shrink him down to nothing

The only real way to defeat him
Is written of in the sacred scrolls'
In chapters concerning great love

Love is the power that can overcome all things
It's strength is displayed in acts of service and kindness
Illustrated in the pouring out of oneself for another

This is the only course of action to defeat the enemy
Love is surely the only way to kill the beast
And to put out the raging flames within.
