"Lesson"

I was going through life

Sniffing flowers

Watching butterflies

Under a clear blue sky

Not knowing 

The invisible monster

Was  poised to step upon me

As if I  were an ant on his hill.

A monster made up 

Of lies, betrayal, greed

and evil.

He stomped me into the earth

Without warning.

Stunned, I sat up

and looked  around.

The sky was dark

The flower heads were

hanging down.

The butterflies .... gone.

The Monster looked back

at me,  with a grin...

I heard him mumble

"Now,  you fit in."
