The Beast You Are

The Beast You Are Screaming silently into the night, Beastial cries of pain... The fury rages, As torment racks the soul. Blood pounds in a deafening roar, As changes come unbidden, Luna is in control again, A slave to her twisted desires. Hapless victims fall one by one; Blood runs in scarlet rivers. Bodies torn, flesh rended, And a disturbingly wonderful scene unfolds. No restraint, the unwilling sacrifice Of morals, control and reason- Havoc reigns supreme tonight, In a horrible beauty of abandon. The beast is loose, beyond the chains Of human thought and reason, Instinct and anger are driving emotions, Willing the wanton carnage on. As night fades, And the morning sun kisses the world, The beast retreats, once more. And reason begins to creep in. And glistening with the morning dew, He stands, confused, but at peace, All agression, umbrage, gone at once, Leaving peace behind. This change is there, In each and every person, In thought if not in deed, And release is inevitable. Emotion must be released, It's part of human nature. It makes us what we are, With no apology, no remorse. And we move on, unaware That with a simple phrase or act... A momentary loss of control, We have destroyed a life.
