Monsters

I'm afraid to leave my apartment
Those monsters are out there
Waiting to hurt me
Hurt my feelings mostly
Steal my money
Steal my peace
I see the drone flying over the hills
It steals my peace of a beautiful scene
God created this land
He made it beautiful
He made it pure
He made it peaceful
These monsters lurk at work
They lurk at my parents home
Sometimes they hide for awhile
Most of the time they don't
The ones with the badges and the lights on top of their cars
They are the worst
They were supposed to keep me safe
Provide me some comfort
Instead they are paid to bully good people
People talk about zombies
Why do we need to fantasize about them?
When we have so so many real monsters out there
Just waiting with evil grins
Waiting for their next victim

there are a lot of monsters every where. The human race are the biggest cruelest monsters of all they hurt everything they touch, they are a parasite on the earth that only bring destruction to them selves as well all Gods creations. God gave the human race too much power and look what we have done with it.

There is a theory that the Earth was originally colonised by aliens. Not the ordinary run of the mill aliens but the insane ones. They were sent here from all over the Universe. In other words we are nothing else except a large lunatic asylum. Now that actually makes sense in a twisted sort of way.

mimzy333, thanks for your comment. I agree with everything you said. We have become too smart for our own britches.

steve1223, thanks for your comment. The alien theory makes sense. Maybe we are the Australia of the universe. All the prisoners from England used to be sent to Australia and now all the prisoners from the Universe are sent here, sound pretty sound to me.

Interesting views here. Steve your theory almost has a ring of truth to it! "steal my peace"... Tell me, what in the 21st century is NOT trying to steal it! Good write...thanks!
