Beasts

I’ve come into your land

you greet me with open arms

but in your eyes I could see

the truth.

You didn’t want me there

you knew I was different

I was a virus that would

spread

into your land.

Through your people.

Get out of here, beast.

Eyes told me

eyes with emotion

eyes that screamed

my death.

Retched evil. Demon!

Yes, maybe a demon

maybe a beast

but you didn’t have

to chase me.

You didn’t have

to harm anyone.

Retched!

You didn’t have to

kill them.

My friends.

You killed them.

Retched!
