Man And Monster

(2008)

Sobriety has finally

Become a casual guest

In the land where both man

And monster now find rest

The man no longer battles the beast over the burning gold,

Now that finally the conflict has ceased

The rest of the story remains out-guessed and untold,

Now that finally the two find peace

Tell me who can discern between what is and isn’t necessity?

I think we all remain challenged of such scrutiny

They make you feel it’s okay to feel sad and lonely,

As long as you keep everyone impressed

But now all I see looks happy,

However homely,

In the land where both man

And monster find rest
