He changed his ways
And started to obey
The command of the law
The savoir was in awe
Was this a trap?
Were the monster jaws going to go snap?
But no.
So
He said you did something no one will forgive
But I’m not cold blooded so I’ll let you live
And that’s why from time to time
The monster commits a small crime
Taken wrong for his looks
Was a memory no one could shook
But in this book
There was secret for those brave enough to look
He found the goal
But chose to be a mole
To walk and turn
And hope he learns
That although he is bitter
He can do better
And after this time
The monster stopped his crime
He left in silence
Even though the people knew he was no longer violent
And after these years
Nobody sheds a tear
For the creation of hatred they created
They just debated
That he was always hated
For his looks
That’s why left
Because some people just didn’t see the moral of the theft
Some bonds were broken
The monster’s heart was broken
But in the end
The story took a different bend
Because life is not about the obvious or appearance
It’s about the disappearance of the kid you picked on.
