How a Child Becomes a Beast
the beast beneath me
the beast above
the beast within me
the beast unloved
this beast is wild
this beast is free
but love captured it's mind
who would love something so beastly?
"tis not i "says thee
"tis not i "said she
"tis not i "said he
if not you; or we:
than who loves the beast?
who helps it when it bleeds
who teaches it to see?
no wonder it's a beast
no one taught it to believe
it could be more than just a beast
no one said "be happy and care free"
no they said " with all kindness there is a fee"
love will never be free
do all the work and trim the trees
than go get your degree
cause love was never guaranteed
so it's because of society
that a child became a beast.
