the right monster

They feared the fact it could not speak their language

The fact it could not do the things they could

The fact it lived a different life to them 

 

Taught to fear it, it began to fear them

It did not though, it chose to be kind

Kind to not choose to be it 

They did not like to see kind 

 

Whilst it would leave things to help them

They would take things to hurt it

Whilst it would always give them a choice

They would never give it a choice

Whilst they would hurt it

It would heal them

 

All of this and the fire only burnt it
