There’s a thing with a winding neck
and long, thin, fingers and toes
and he’s the reason for all of your woes.

He’s got round empty eyes
and an almost shamefully pointed head
and he’ll haunt us until we’re dead.

He’s trapped inside an empty cage
and his skin is blacker than the bars at night
but his eyes, they glow and unreflecting light.

He climbs the walls and perches
he’s trying to get a better view
look closely...he’s looking at you.

And above him there’s a banner
as painfully black as tomorrow
and it reads the creatures name...sorrow.

(big hugggssssssss) And then comes the painful and sympathetic realization that that "creature" is much like us! (sad sigh) It is not falsifed to say we are all creatures, we are all animals climbing around and trying to figure this whole enigma out, God Bless You, this is excellent writing, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Colifer, thank you for sharing!
