Bandage the Beast

Ergo the cause, trapped under paw

of the infinite ugly,

can be assumed lost by now.

 

What a mug on the monster;

that trundling behemoth

made too horrid to consume.

 

Let's dress it with pink ribbon,

paint its claws a fuchsia, burnt; 

nurse it back from blight with song

 

just before it carries on

waging against those who try

to defy the status quo.

 

It continues leaving prints

from when its feet meet their chests

whilst rumbling overhead,

 

and all that's said in solace

is, "I've given all I can --

look at the moments I've spared."

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

For all the people who think that painting their nails a certain color, putting ribbons on the backs of their cars or writing love on their arms does anything other than validate the individual.
