Monsters
By Robert CJ Graves

Murderous monsters grow inside men,
feeding on the indignities of money and fear.
They worship tools of construction
and prize toys over imagination,
greed over kindness.
They have died a spiritual death,
their souls sacrificed for a material hunger
that only grows when fed and is never full.
With their souls dead, they live
completely in the material world,
and thus they must die completely
when it is time to transcend.
