The Cost of Not Knowing

I deceive the monster
In creations of pure disgust
I invoke the laws of nothing
I am not the only one.

I feel the eyes of sorrow
From the creatures I encounter
And every single unhappy moment
Of lives that never mattered.

Pity the evil, this presence
That nothing has a meaning
And terrible assumptions of
What they know to be.

I despise the mindless beings
Who consume without a thought
The parasitic demons who
Take and never try to stop.

They will keep consuming
Until the rest is gone
And while destruction
Is the outcome
The vile can never be taught.

I envision a peaceful eden
A beautiful picture of life
Not defiled by superstition
Or ruined by religious sight.

Happiness is all that matters
In this land of make believe
Hatred and despair
Could never desecrate this place.

Salvation is made clear
In many different expressions
Though taken in by so few
The thoughts of death embrace us.

Waiting helplessly
For an answer or a clue
But insight and enlightenment
Never sparked the truth.

I wish we all could have a place like this. I think it exists through the images of the Hubble telescope. Those images are so far away from this place; I sometimes dream I was out there versus here sometime. But that's just me. Anways, fantastic piece. Keep up the great work!

Wonderful piece. I am just guessing but I think that the monster is mankind? I dunno, but whatever or whoever the monster is you did a great job of writing it out. I loved it. Great write!
