Yesterday I Met a Monster

Yesterday I Met a Monster

Yesterday, I met a monster

disguised as a man ..

He arrived in my clinic on 

a British racing green

mobility scooter and was

bang on time too ..

Now I wouldn’t suggest he

was dressed

to impress, but rather to

shock and to

make sure he got noticed ..

However, he would

surely stand out in a crowd,

any crowd that is ..

Yesterday, I met a monster

dressed as a man ..

His clothes smelled of 1970’s

cologne and had

a well-worn sheen to them ..

He made me feel

dirty just by his, being there ..

He wore his

hair tied back beneath an old

bowler hat

and his beard was braided ..

By the way,

he never took that hat off

once and wore

far too many lapel badges

for my liking ..

Yesterday, I met a monster

who spoke like

a very well educated man ..

And who wore

his mighty collection of age

inappropriate

lapel badges, much like an

old soldier might

wear his campaign medals ..

He was clearly

also proud of the electronic

tagging device

strapped to his right ankle,

since he pursed

his lips and smiled when

I referred to it ..

Yesterday, I met a monster

who raped an

eight year old child then

assaulted two

others, all while they were

on holiday

in a tent by the sea with

their parents

apparently close by to them ..

The monster

in question, had only been

released on

supervised licence, a month

previously ..

Having served in excess of

twenty five years

of his life to date, behind bars ..

The monster

subsequently insisted he was

entirely innocent

of all charges, that he had no

recollection of it

and therefore, it must have

been someone else ..

The monster changed his story

several times

throughout that interview ..

He began to insist

it was the voices had told him ..

Then when that

failed to tease out a diagnosis ..

He began to cry

and claimed he was the victim ..

That all three,

of them, two girls and a boy

had egged him on ..

He was so good a liar, he was

almost convincing ..

But by the end of next month,

I am sure he

will go down again for a very

long time indeed ..

Yes, yesterday I met a monster ..

I just wish I had

then enough guts to have killed it ..

This world is full of monsters. Years ago I met one like this serving life without parole who had killed his wife 40 years older than he and her two grand daughters 8 and ten blowing off their heads with a shot gun and then raping the dead bodies. He called the police and told them of what he did and when picked up said the devil had crawled into his whisky bottle and made him do it. He was still speaking to that devil when I spoke with him years latter in his prison cell. When young he had fallen from a train and split his head open with the brains falling out and being stuffed back in by his mother that bound the wound with a rag and never took him to a doctor. He was a little strange after that. Great write Neville monsters inspire such strong emotions in us it is no wonder that we write about them in poems, fairy tales, news papers and are all afraid of them from childhood on.

That indeed is a monster!! No that is a devil or demon in human form. The description of how the evil is dressed and smelled is fitting for its demeanor.

Many of us wish we had the guts to kill such evil that walks this earth.

I’m at a loss for words as what to say. Some topics are hard for me to fathom yet we know they exist and wish like hell they didn’t!!

[Neville]

many thanks for visiting and for seeing it my way

You are welcome and those encounters are vile and stomach clinching. Makes you want to vomit. Some people put off bad energy and you can feel it and I’ve had encounters with people that make me cringe and feel nauseous without ever knowing a thing about them and then later something is said or come to light about their character

What a story! What a use of words to tell that story!
