They used to tell us stories of monsters
Monsters, ugly and scary that wished to cause us harm
We used to see these monsters
In our closets
Under the bed
Hiding in a corner of the room
These monsters were never hard to get rid off
All we had to do was turn on our nightlamp
The monsters of this century
Are not illusions caused by lack of light
But people with dead consciences
People who use the darkness of the night
To do crazily terrorizing things
These monsters walk around just as we do
They dress like we do
Eat what we eat
We may get suspicious at times
But we never know for sure who they are
