WHERE MONSTERS CAN GROW Beware of the monsters Who dwell in the mind, Who grow in the shelter Of shadows they find. Beware of the demons Who hide from the light, Who only survive When our spirits lose sight. Those creatures can thrive Where our knowledge is low; They fill in the spaces Of what we don't know. Beware of the monsters That cause us to hate, To strike out in anger When we can't relate. For ignorance darkens The mind and the heart, And helps all out monsters To tear us apart. But learning and thinking Will strengthen us so We won't be the places Where monsters can grow.
