Beware Of The Monsters That Hide In Your Mind

The recent massacre at Virginia Tech University in Blacksburg Virginia reminded me of this poem. Our sentiments, prayers and sympathies go out to all the families that were victimized by "The Madness" that existed within the heart of this senseless killer.

Beware of the monsters

That dwell in the mind,

That grow in the shelter
Of shadows they find.

Beware of the demons
That hide from the light,
That only survive
When our spirits lose sight.
Those creatures can thrive
Where our knowledge is low;
They fill in the spaces
Of what we don’t know.

Beware of the monsters
That cause us to hate,
To strike out in anger
When we can’t relate.
For ignorance darkens
The mind and the heart,
And helps all our monsters
To tear us apart.
But learning and thinking
Will strengthen us so
We won’t be the places
Where monsters can grow.

May the peace and blessings of (YHVH) and his son Our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS the CHRIST be with all those affected by this tragedy.
