To Devour or Not Devour?

Did I cage the wrong thing?

A question

I contemplate

What if that beast in me

Will help others to

Liberate

What if that beast in me can’t be trusted?

I mean I like to believe I have control

But it is a beast after all

So what if behind the cell it belongs

But I’m really mad

That while I locked away my beast

Others let theirs run free

Some even allow it to

Control them

I mean does this make me weak

I choose not to think

About it in that way

Because the beast is a part of

Human nature we should have

Been turned away

We shouldn’t be dealing with the

Wild

Now that we are domesticated

But still being run by those

In power that didn’t seem to have

Gotten the message

So should I release

That within me that wants to be free

Can I trust something

That I know

Will only fight for its own

Instincts?

I guess my real question is

Has my love turned the beast?

Or has my love made that part of me

Grow stronger with

Wanting to devour?

I’m afraid to find out

Because if I let this beast go

Again

We could just see

This world truly end

But maybe

The end will be

The beginning
